Hard To Believe...

...that it has been almost a month since the last post and that Emma is now 4 weeks old!

...Yes, I know.  Time to catch up with some pictures.  So, here's playing catch up:

SOME MORE HOSPITAL PICTURES:

(Ethan trying to hold his new baby sister)

(Emma and I with my OB doctor)

Emma all dressed up in her take-home outfit

Such a good-looking daddy with his sweet daughter

In her car seat for the first time... so tiny and all bunched up!

(we had high hopes that Emma would like her car seat more than Ethan liked his at this age, but it turns out it's not one of her favorites either.)  

cruising with two now :-)

Sweet, very sleepy baby

Snuggles... Ethan is so sweet to his sister

Here's what multi-tasking looks like for my husband these days :-)

Shortly after Emma was born, the Kennedys came out for a visit.

So fun to see the cousins interacting with each other, esp. now that Addy girl is walking around:

Addy: "um... Ethan, could you be quiet for just one minute?!!" :-)

Aunt Shell giving Emma some sweet snuggles

Ethan going in for a kiss! (watch out Shell)

Emma checking out one of her beautiful aunts

The cousins reunite...

(more Emma pictures)

The soon-to-be mother, Aunt Kel with baby burrito

So sleepy...

(sisters shopping together... Aunt Shell is giving the baby carrier a try with Emma... her and Aunt Kell took turns)

What a great daddy of 2 these kids have!!

Here's 2 pictures from the baby shower that the ladies from church threw for Emma.  It was such a beautiful shower and both Emma and I greatly enjoyed it!

(Thank you so much to all the women who helped put it on, especially Cara!)

We (mainly meaning my dad!) have officially began to start the rennovations of our new home that we hope to move in to at the end of August.  Here are some starting out pictures:

(Ethan trying to be helpful... notice that his ball is close by just in case he gets bored)

(us in the kitchen getting excited about finally being able to be inside the house)

(mom, kelli, and Adam beginning to take up the carpet)

Aunt Kel showing Ethan how it's done on the swing set in the backyard 

RANDOM PIC:

A funny thing Ethan has been enjoying lately is wearing daddy's big socks around the apartment...
