1st Week Home





Dad introducing Zach to the pups.



Grampa made Ben this cool play table perfect for setting up his train tracks on. Looks like he had Uncle Casey & Grampa busy helping test it out while waiting for his new brother to get home. :)







Grampa & Gramma and the 'boys' (still sounds a little odd saying that!)



The best cuddle position.






Gramma was able to stay with us for the first week home so she got lots of time in with the newest grandchild!







We had a couple of nice spring days out so we got to play outside a bit...which is the best place for busy little 3 year olds to burn energy! :)





This grandchild also got lots of Gramma time in...and keeps everyone going going.




Do I look like my brother?

I found a similar picture of Ben in the same sleeper....they definitely have their own look...



...but can you tell them apart here?!? (Zach on top)


Ready to play football with your big brother yet Zach?




Love it.



Ben & Gramma found a fun activity while she was here...baking! We never had so many treats laying around the house...which is probably a good thing because none of us could keep our hands off them! Must mean Ben & Gramma are good bakers! :)














Thanks for everything Gramma...we miss you already!

Welcome Zachary!

Well woke to a snowy morning on 3/10/10 (one week early from 3/17 due date), got up to the hospital by 5:30 am for our scheduled c-section, and were excited to finally meet Zachary Robert at 8:32 am! Another lovable, healthy baby boy.





Look at all that dark hair!

He weighed 8 lbs 10 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long.


Proud daddy.



The proud big brother. Gramma B came to stay so they got up to meet Zach mid-morning. Ben was a little cautious walking into the room...not sure what to think of mommy laid up in bed...but he was pretty excited to meet his new little brother.

Ben even brought Zach his first little football. :)


All smiles...


...and a little lovin.
Of course Gramma couldn't wait to meet him either!

My favorite boys.

We're so lucky to be blessed with such a perfect little miracle!


Our growing family...nothing better!

Grampa came up with Uncle Casey that Friday for the weekend so they came up to the hospital to meet Zach too. Casey wasn't feeling great though so he had to keep his distance.

Getting ready to go home that Saturday morning, the 13th.

Sweet little guy!

Hangin with Jane

One of Ben's favorite visitors came up for the weekend...and brought her Dad & Lez. :) It was fun to just relax and hang out with all of them!



A little morning hottubbing.





Apparently the snacks were too good to put down for the picture!


We even made another trip over to the hotsprings for more swimming.



(I like Ben's big muscles in this one. :)








Sunday was gorgeous so we went for a walk and hit up the playground for a bit. I think every kid in the neighborhood was out...spring fever!
