Leilani's Airport Homecoming

My sister's back! Sister Bahr returned from Brazil Porto Allegre South mission on Friday, June 1. Now it's back to real life and the glory of it all--you mean, I have to get a job and DO something with my life?!?!?!! and in English, too?

More Pix of William & Family

I guess they limit the amount of pictures you can post, and there were a few more I wanted to post here.

(Isn't this first shot of him with the doctor a lovely one?! Should work well for blackmailing later! Maybe a little more information than you needed.)

Welcome to the world, Bright Eyes!!

Our new addition! At long last, our fifth family member is finally here! (Not that we had to wait too long for him--he came six days early, not exactly the best timing when it came to leaving the store and other obligations, but we made it through it.)

Thomas and Bella are so excited that their brother is finally here. Thomas is anxious for the time when he will do more than sleep and eat! He (Thomas) has loved laying by him and has tried to get him interested in the baby toys we have, but William just doesn't have much interest in them yet. Thomas is very gentle with him and over and over again welcomes him to the family. Bella is likewise very happy to have a brother. We couldn't get her to finally go to sleep last night because she wanted to spend time with him. She holds him well and kisses him much! (She had a lot of fun at Crystelle's house when I was in the hospital--hence the tiara and sunglasses in this picture. They pampered her as a princess while she was there and before they came to visit me.)

Labor went well and recovery is going great, and now Naomi just has to get used to a baby that wakes up at 11:30 at night and doesn't really sleep again until 3 a.m. He is very alert and loves to look around. A very good baby so far--we are happy to have him! He looks a lot like Thomas did as a baby (has his eyes, same color and shape), but without the toehead blonde hair. William has brown hair, an even little cropping all around his nicely shaped head! He's a beautiful boy.
