American Pyes

Easter Sunday was a special day for us.  We started it out by blessing our new baby boy in Marietta.  Then we followed our church services up with our nephew's baptism.  After church we enjoyed Easter dinner at Nana and Papaw's house.  We finished the day with an easter egg hunt and lots of playing with cousins.  Jonathan was such a star.  He looked so handsome in his white.  All the kids fought over who got to hold him all day.

Just a few more pics before we left the hospital.  Richard has always had the honor of changing the first poopy/tar filled diaper of all of our children.  Jonathan slept a lot while we were in the hospital lets see if he can keep this up at home.

The evening after Jonathan was born all the kids came to meet their newest sibling.  They were all so excited to see him.  Hannah was immediately at ease holding him.  Sarah was only interested for a few seconds. Nana and Papaw have been a huge help.  We are so glad that they were able to come and stay with the kids.

Our little leap day baby arrived February 29th at 12:01 pm.  He was 8 lbs. 1.5 oz and 19 3/4 in. long.  I was induced so there were no big surprises but his birth was a little traumatic because he came out very fast with the cord around his neck.  Both Jonathan and mom are doing great.

Jonathan's first picture.

This is us getting ready to leave the delivery room so that we can settle in  in our recovery room.

Wow! Number five.  Richard looks a little tired.
