More pictures

So ready to leave the hospital! Get us out of here!!!
Handsome Tage in his going home outfit.
First things first at the Bowcutt house. As soon as we got home from the hospital...family nap time!!!
It's amazing how fast we became smitten with this little guy. I knew we would love him, but I was worried about sharing my love between him and Parker. I can honestly say that I can't get enough of him! Every facial expression, every sound he makes makes my heart smile. We are all obsessed. Especially Parker.
I looked in the baby's crib to find this, Parker said his baby brother wanted a toy to play with, so he gently placed his bat next to him. It could have been much, much worse.

To top off a very exhausting and emotional week, my big boy started preschool today!! He was so so excited. Especially when we told him Jared and I wouldn't be going with him. He thought he was such a big boy.

I did a lot better than I thought I would. I had my meltdown last night when I realized Parker was starting preschool and my baby was a whole week old. Where does time go?

I Love it! Just wait, it only gets better!!! I got your post about my camera. I have a Canon Rebel xsi. It's a digital SLR and expensive but I love it and have become obsessed with it. I wish I would have had it when Makoy was a baby. It takes amazing pics. If you decide to get one go to best buy and make sure you buy the protection plan. Way worth it, we just found out that little fingers with sunscreen on them will etch the lens and ruin it. Best buy gave me a brand new camera the same day! Love, Audrey

Those pics are precious! I love that Parker carefully placed a bat next to him, that is hilarious! Makes me miss the tiny babe I had not to long ago.

Heather said...

Tage is so cute!! I agree with you on their every sound and facial expression making your heart smile! Today I swear that Easton was laughing. (He was probably just choking or something.) I know they don't just smile and laugh and 3 weeks old, but I'm just going to let myself think it was laughter!

Baby Tage is so cute, I love that name. I can't believe Parker is already going to school. They grow up to fast. I am glad that your cute family is home safe and sound.
