A new week, a new life

We've been saying we couldn't wait for Owen's arrival.  Well, he couldn't wait either.  Owen Michael Patrick was born October 11, 2010 at 6:25pm.  We weighed 6 lbs 6 oz and was 19 inches long.  He was born at 35 weeks, and consequently, he needed to stay in the hospital for another week.  However, he was given a clean bill of health yesterday and we are home now and adjusting to our expanded family.

The doting parents wating, waiting, waiting...

Exhausted dad sporting the "waiting for Owen/Rangers playoff beard."  Cliff Lee treated the boys to an exciting first baseball game for the young man!

Home at last, Abby meets her little brother!  She offered him a pacifer and then invited him to watch Mickey Mouse with her.  She's gonna be a great big sister.
