Resurrection of a Blog

Nothing makes you think of resurrection like a new baby... except maybe Easter.

This past week and a half has been simply wonderful.  Not the stress and fear I felt after Levin, but still a new baby to hold and a family recreated.



















One of my favorite parts of having children is placing all sorts of ridiculous projections on them.  Atlas has given us plenty to work with.  He came so fast, the doctor just down the hall didn't make it intime to catch him.  Seventy seconds from first push to delivery.  I should have guessed he was almost here when the nurse started yelling for nurses in the hall to "HELP please!" and she said, "don't push."  I thought, "Just try and stop me.  This hurts very badly."  He presented Super Man style with his fist leading the way.  Practically punched his way out of the womb, I guess.

Atlas also spends a good part of his day calmly looking around.  Levin opened his eyes once right after he was born, then didn't open them again for 3 days.

We've got ourselves a strong, silent and punctual type.  It's a lot to live up to, little guy.  Good luck.

Hooray for the birth of Atlas and the rebirth of Blog-ography.

I love these pictures. They are so good and such a good snapshot into your world.

I love Atlas (and his name) and that he has such a great dad, mom, and brother to live with.

Would it be greedy or rude to say, "More, please." (Picture Oliver the orphan asking for more porridge if it makes it more palatable.)

CONGRATULATIONS!!! So very happy and excited for you and your growing family. I've decided you need to have several children very close together...mostly to keep your blog consistently rolling, but also because you have adorable kids!

Those pictures are the best!! I've pulled them up to stare at them at least 20 times. My favorite is Atlas with the pacifier. I just love them all. He's beautiful, and Levin is as cute as ever!
