Ethan's Newborn Pictures

My friend Ashley's husband, Graham, recently took on a second career as a professional photographer.  Lucky for us, he agreed to take some newborn pictures of Ethan at our home.  I have not seen all of the photographs yet, but I just received these sneak peaks and I am so excited to see the rest!!  Ethan was 2 1/2 weeks old for these pictures.  I will post more pictures as I get them!!

The cutest little bear cub in the world!!

If you are looking for a photographer and live in the Jackson or Metro Jackson area, I highly recommend Graham!  Visit his website at www.grahamwesleyphotography.com

Ethan's First Trip to Grand Isle

When Noah was about 10 days old we took a family trip to Grand Isle, LA for Noah to meet the family. In keeping with tradition, we took Ethan down to Grand Isle for the 4th of July weekend.  Here are some pictures from our trip!

And finally....it wouldn't be a trip to Louisiana without playing with the cousins!

We had a great time introducing our precious son to our Louisiana Family!

Apparently his entire body needed it!

Uncle John and Aunt Bekah Come to Visit

My brother, John, and his sweet wife, Bekah, made a trip out to visit and meet Ethan for the first time.  John and Bekah live in Costa Rica as missionaries 9 months out of the year so we were lucky to have them home for Ethan's birth!

Welcome to the World Ethan!!

WE ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE ARRIVAL OF OUR SON AND BROTHER, ETHAN!!!

Ethan was born on June 21, 2011 at 12:29 p.m. via scheduled c-section.  Delivery was smooth for both baby and mommy, and recovery has been equally as smooth for all.  Here are some pictures to document this perfect addition to our family!!

Headed home with my second son!!

Bryan and I feel so incredibly blessed to be parents to these precious little boys.  We are at home now adjusting to our life as a family of four and cherishing each moment.  We are overwhelmed by the kindness, generosity, and love we have been shown by our family, our church, and our friends.  I need to give a special word of thanks to my mom ("GiGi") for coming out to stay with us for two weeks to help out around the house, help out with meals, and most of all help care for Noah and help make him feel extra loved as we welcomed his baby brother into the family!  I don't know what we would have done without her love and support!
