Birth/Graduation Announcement

I made this announcement (with much assistance from my wonderful mother). The pictures I took of it aren't the best, but hey ...

Here's the sweet baby in motion!

Pictures of our little Levi

I feel so blessed by the newest member of my family. He: is sweet, has so many expressions, smiles a lot, is easily calmed, has his father's baby nose, is the most beautiful boy I have ever seen. He grabs my hand and tells me he loves me all the time. He has very nice large hands and ... well, I could go on forever. Suffice it to say that my baby is perfect and I love him with all of my heart.

We were released from the hospital on Monday and got home at about 3 in the afternoon. Suzie was with us and Nate was already at home because, with much effort, we talked him into sleeping at home Sunday night to give his back a break from the hospital sleeping accommodations. Suzie and Levi and I successfully got out of the hospital and home. It was lovely to be with Nathan again. Tuesday we went to catch a bit of the Hogan Family Reunion/Celebration of Grandpa & Grandma's 50th Wedding Anniversary. Because Suzie and Mom had done a very good job advertising that Levi was not a touchable item, people were very nice about not asking to hold him (which was good also because I may not have remembered to not pass him around, because I wanted everyone to be afforded the opportunity of holding my perfect baby, ya know). The reunion was really lovely and we even got to take a few pictures of Levi and his great-grandparents.
