Sweet Angel Boy


A sweet lady at church gave Reece this precious little angel outfit. It says "heaven sent" on the front.

Crazy Hair
Wyatt and Seth love it when we give them "crazy hair" after their bath. I think they look adorable.

Cowboy Reece
I just love this little Preemie outfit with the cowboy stuff on it!!

More Pictures from the Park

The Park
While Nanny was here we took the boys to the park to get out of the house. Wyatt and Seth had a great time and Reece just slept in his car seat the whole time.

Bath Time
Despite what it looks like from these pictures Reece does not like getting a bath and usually screams like crazy the whole time he gets one. Unfortunately this bathtub is broken and won't hold water, so I need to get a new one.

Guy Time
Wyatt and Seth love their little brother and they always want to be near him.

Finally Home
These are pictures were taken when we first got Reece home, before his big brothers arrived to liven things up.

Going Home
This was when we were finally able to bring him home. We were so happy.

Proud Big Brothers
Wyatt and Seth couldn't go in the NICU to see Reece, but they loved looking through the window at him. The nurses were so nice to open the curtains anytime we asked them to.

NICU Nurses
Reece had some great nurses that took care of him while he was NICU. The two nurses in the pictures were the main ones for most of the time that he was there. They were fantastic. Nurse Kathy (in the bottom picture) is a wonderful Christian, and it was great to be able to talk with her about how we were praying for Reece. The other nurse is Nurse Darlene; she was the charge nurse and was very sweet.

In the Nursery
When Reece was first taken to the nursery they put him on an oxygen hood to help him breath, but he only stayed on it for a couple of hours. The big plastic thing over his head is the oxygen hood and the other pictures are from while he was in NICU.

Welcome Reece!!
Our sweet little boy decided to make an appearance 6 weeks early. On January 30th we welcomed Reece Levi into the world. He weighed 5 lbs 12 oz and is 18 inches long. He spent two weeks in NICU, but is finally home with us.
He's a sweet little boy and only cries when he's hungry.

So Bored
We're stuck inside on day #3 of the ice storm. The boys are bored stiff. Here they are watching one of their favorite movies, "Toy Story 2," and they look like they'd rather be doing anything else. We're all going a little stir crazy and really want the ice to melt so that we can get out of the house.

Winter Wonderland
Well, we have been hit by some nasty cold weather. It has been sleeting most of the morning and since the roads are iced over Jerad got to stay home from work. Wyatt loves the ice and the way the grass crunches under his feet. He was very upset to have to come inside. Seth has a bad cough and runny nose, so he could only stay out for a couple of minutes while Jerad held him to keep him nice and warm.

Fun in Noah's Ark
The church opened the second floor of the new building and there is a slide that goes between the escalators from the second floor to the first floor. On Sunday Wyatt wanted to go down it, but there was a huge line and he got a little overwhelmed by all the people looking at him. So, I promised him that we would go the next day and that Uncle John would let him go down the slide. He woke up talking about it, so I took he and Seth to the church to play on the slide. However, when we got there men were working on the escalators because one had broken the night before. So we couldn't use the slide. Wyatt was disappointed, but Uncle John let them play in the Noah's Ark playcourt for a while and that made them pretty happy.

Merry Christmas!!
The first Christmas picture with Jerad's funny face is when I was trying to line up the camera so that I could fit all of us in the picture. The second picture is the one that we ended up with that will go in our Christmas Picture Album.
