Our beautiful boys!Our first trip to Kings Dominion with Everett. Mommy decided to take the kids by herself...Ethan soooo needed to get out of the house!

Everett looks up to his big brother!

such a little bundle of joy

First smile on June 1

Aunt Jen, and cousins Joey and Jaclyn came to visit on June 22.

We went to Build-A-Bear with Joey and Jaclyn. Ethan got a Black Lab stuffed animal. Not surprisingly, he named it Sammy.

Ethan went to Indy qualifying at the Richmond raceway with Roy while Mommy and Everett stayed home and got some much-needed rest!
Laughed on June 23.
This big brother stuff is tiring work!

Everett

May 11, 2009

Getting prepped for my C-section. Ethan got to stay in the surgery prep room the entire time. He was so excited he was going to see his baby brother soon!




Ethan was very upset when they wheeled me out of the prep room and into surgery.

Ethan and Grandma were able to follow Everett to the nursery immediately after delivery to see his first bath. Evelyn tells us Ethan was very concerned about how red his baby brother was. Everett's hair is red too!!! We are such lucky brunettes to have 2 redheaded boys! Of course Grandma is proud, since they get their red hair from her.


I stayed by myself in the hospital at night so that Roy could be with Ethan at home. Roy said that Ethan talked about his baby brother constantly, and couldn't wait for mommy and Everett to come home.

Ethan was so gentle with Everett, "petting" him and giving him lots of kisses.Ethan wearing Everett's hat

May 2009

I wasn't able to go to the NASCAR race in May (stadium seats at 9months pregnant...I think not!!). However, Ethan and I did go to the park to tailgate with everyone. Ethan had so much fun, I think he'll want to go tailgating every time we go to a race. Here are Ethan and our friend Jeff swinging at the playground.

Roy's early father's day gift was a grill. He loves it and cooks on it at least 3 times a week....who's gift was that anyway. Seems like I'm winning out on that one!

The greatest Mother's Day ever! One day before baby day..

May 11, 2009--baby day!!! Three hours prior to the baby arriving, Ethan decided he was going to "get that baby out" using his play power saw. I guess we gave him too much information about the c-section!
