Memorial Day weekend Dave and Bill were in Atlanta visiting Bill's family. Jake's first "Illinois" visitors!

Jake's First Visit With His Cousins

Patricia brought the girls on May 19th for a quick visit. Jake slept most of the time, but we managed to get a few photos taken. Chloe and Sadie call him "Baby Jake".

Naptime maybe?

Jake was 23 days old when this was taken. He was still so tiny!

How does this thing work?!?

When you're leaving the hospital they leave you by your car and that's that. You're on your own! Now--how does this car seat snap together? There's only about 100 straps and buckles and clickers...we managed to make it home though.

Last photo at the hospital

Here we are on our way out of the hospital. In the background is the nursery where Jake slept at night. We were lucky and got to be in the brand new wing of the Women's Center. Everything was brand new and so comfortable. I miss Jake being this teeny tiny though!

Jake and Daddy

This is one of my favorite photos. I think the photos says it all! (Just click on the photo to see a larger version)

Brand new Jake!

This is Jake when he was about 24 hours old. We thought he was beautiful from day one. He was born on a Wednesday and was home with us Friday by 5:00pm.
