Loving Silas

Cousin Ashton gives Silas some love.

Proud big brother.

Sharing a laugh.

Sweet nap.

Guemes

Four days after Silas was born, we headed to Guemes to have some quiet, family time. Getting there with a newborn was a little nuts, but once there, we settled in and spent a good part of three weeks on the island. It was heaven....


Our friend, Brigid, came to visit. Here, she and Liam watch the sun set and "skip" rocks.

We also hosted a birthday party for Gabe, including a fun day in the sun and a yummy crab dinner on the beach.

...picking crab for breakfast? A true island boy.

Silas is born

Wow. I can't believe it has been almost five weeks since Silas was born. I don't sit down to the computer much - never did before, but much less now! :) Anyway, here are some pictures from the birth days. The photo above is while I was in labor at home. Liam and I were reading Winnie the Pooh...in between the early contractions. About an hour after this picture was taken, he went down to Mount Vernon with Gabe's mom for the day.

Tired and happy. Our bundle of joy.

Sweet rest.

Sweet baby.
