granger coming home {personal}

We didn't get released from St. David's hospital in Austin until the evening time.  So, after our hour-drive back to New Braunfels, it was getting dark when we got home.  We asked Grammie to keep the big boys up late (they're normally in bed by 7:00 p.m. on a school night), so they could meet their new baby brother for the first time!!!  They were all sitting on the couch, looking out the window, and they ran as fast as they could to greet us in the driveway!  It was priceless!...

Inside showing their awesome signs...

Our first official picture of our new family of six!  I don't think it's worthy of a canvas, but it melts my heart because we were finally all together!...

Brogan insisted that Granger must want every single stuffed animal surrounding him.  We obliged...

Brogan and one of his BFFs, Gavin, made this cool poster together for Granger.  Then Gavin & his mom, Ms. Kristi brought it over with a big balloon!!!  Thanks y'all!...

Pop Pop & Mimi have a special tradition of ordering a Stork Sign to be displayed in our yard with the new baby's name!...

Happy to all be home!

granger's arrival! {personal}

I told the story in the post before.  Now, I'm finally downloading all of my pictures and want to share them with everyone!  Here goes...

In labor...

Granger was born on Friday, May 6th, at 9:14 p.m.
This was his transport isolette that he rode in while on the helicopter...

Mother's Day!  Mimi & Pop Pop brought up the 3 big boys to surprise me with flowers, chocolate, and magazines!!!...

On Monday, I was released from the San Marcos hospital.  I finally got to go to St. David's to see baby Granger...

We finally got to hold him!!...

Pop Pop & Mimi brought the boys for a visit to the Ronald McDonald house where David and I were staying!...

Brogan thought the elevator was the coolest part!...

Dayton and Grady's favorite part was this super-cool video room!  The chairs were airplane seats!...

Granger getting better...

My sister & Dad drove up to Austin for a quick visit...

My mom was back-n-forth, helping me and/or the kids.  She came to the hospital to hold Granger...

Yeah!!!  We were released!  Granger in his going home outfit...

More pictures to come of life at home in New Braunfels!!
