Bringing Baby Home

Monday, July 14, 2008
(July 14 is Bastille Day, a national holiday in France, so if our baby couldn't be born on a French holiday, at least he got to come home from the hospital on one!)

Isaac's coming home outfit:

We bought one a few months before his birth, but we were afraid it would be too big, so I bought this preemie outfit the day before he was born! He wasn"t that tiny (7.7), but it fit great!

first time in real clothes!

Getting dressed really wore him out!

This is a sweet series of pictures of Jacob & Isaac right before we left the hospital.

I love this one because it looks as if Isaac is smiling up at Jacob!

stop on the way home from the hospital...

Dunkin Donuts for coffee!

Christian was waiting at the entrance to our neighborhood when we arrived...

I took these pictures of him from the car window as we were driving up!

He was SO excited -- it was really sweet!

Christian welcomes his new baby brother home.

Jacob got me this pretty gerber daisy arrangement. He made a surprise stop at the florist on the way home from the hospital to pick them up!

Mary tied these balloons on our mailbox for us!

Here's the stork in our front yard! Jacob made the stork for my Mother's Day gift. (There are more pictures of it in an old post about Mother's Day.)

We have more pictures of our first day at home that will be in the next post...
