Our new family!

Ollie is almost a week old now, and so I decided to post some more pictures of him. We haven't taken a single picture since we got home, but there are some cute ones from the hospital to share. He has been such a blessing to us already- a good excuse for mom to sleep in a little bit, for dad to take some time off work (kind of), for Grandpa to come visit, etc. The boys really love him, although Tyse "Hates that name." He has taken to calling him "Jacko". I swear- if he knew Michael Jackson's nickname, he would be even more for that one, but alas, it is his own creation that he likes to use. Every time we say Ollie, he mutters under his breath "I HATE that name."


The surgery went really well- We loved the hospital and the staff that helped us. My dr. is very laid back, so he let Kent wander around the operating room and take pictures of whatever he wanted. Thus we have some really interesting pictures- I have never seen my own insides before. Now I have pictures of them for eternity!Before we started, the anesthesiologist asked me what radio station I wanted to listen to, and the drs were joking with Kent that whoever was on the radio at the time the baby came out is what his name would be. We almost followed suit- It was Kenny Chesney and George Strait (lucky me! what a memory), and my whole family calls Kent "Kenny", and his middle name is Kent... I know it is a stretch, but it almost fits!
The boys loved visiting the hospital. I think that their favorite part was the jellybeans I had in the drawer and the chocolate cake from my dinner. The nurses loved how busy they were- luckily our room was pretty big, so we had a soccer game one evening. The hospital also has cable, so Tyse got to see some of his favorite shows he doesn't get to see at home. I was lucky enough to have it snow on saturday, so I could watch out the window as the snowflakes fell. I also did my best to get as caught up on LOST as I could. We have been borrowing the seasons on DVD from the library and we are just in the middle of season 2, but it has us hooked and we can't wait to get the next set of discs... what a great thing to pass time!
I know some of you don't care about these details, but we use this for a family journal, so bear with us...
Anyway here are a few more of my favorite pics. I love watching our family grow- both in number and in human size. What a blessing little boys are!
