Amelia's 2 weeks old!






Amelia is 2 weeks old and isn't looking quite so wrinkly. She's a mellow baby and a very good eater--I didn't have to deal with engorgement at all when my milk came in. She doesn't like to sleep in her bassinet at night, so she sleeps with me.

Ethan's birthday





Two days after Amelia joined our family, Ethan turned 12! We had a family party for him on his birthday, and he's been waiting patiently for his birthday parties (yes, he's having 2) with his friends. He is having a sleepover with one group of friends and is going to play paintball with another group. He was ordained a deacon on May 18th, so he was able to pass the sacrament last Sunday. He looks so cute in his suit!

Amelia Katherine





Amelia Katherine arrived on May 10th at 1:01 AM after about 5 hours of labor. She was an even 8 pounds (our biggest baby!) and 19 inches long. She has lots of dark brown hair, which the nurses spiked up and affixed bows, prompting Ethan's question "what's with the fauxhawk?" She is beautiful! We're all glad she's here.
