Naked Baby Alert!!!

Cute little toes!

Braden will hate us for this later in life, but for now he has no control over his naked body being on the internet! We think he's cute!

Friends Visiting

Adrienne and Sarah came to visit for the weekend! It was nice and relaxing! We went to Chipotle for lunch the first day, and then to Spice for dinner on Saturday! Besides that we just relaxed at home, went for a couple walks and mom got in a couple naps. It was great bonding time and we can't wait to get together again!

Happy Birthday Dad!!!

Grandma Dianna made a big cookie for dad's 29th birthday! It was very yummy!

Family Pics

Here are some family pics we've taken in the last couple weeks with Catherine's fam. It was wonderful to have them here. They were an amazing help and they are greatly missed! Scott's family pics will be coming soon!

Chillin'

Just a few pics of us hanging around the house this weekend.

First walk

Braden wanted to get his excercise, so we went on our first walk as a family.

True fan

Braden dropping back for the pass...Braden is getting antsy for this years football season. Will he be a Bears fan or a Cowboys fan?

Bathtime Fun

Earlier this week we gave Braden his first bath! He did very well and only cried just a little!

First outing

We went out to PING"S, Our first chinese dinner as a family. After that we rented a movie, then went to Dick's sporting goods and shopped. Watch out San Antonio, Braden is now on the loose.

We're Home!!!!!

Well we finally made it! We've got to say a big thanks to Paul and Julia for keeping the blog up while we were at the hospital. I'll say sorry in advance because I'm not as good with words so I don't know if I'll keep you as entertained. Anyway... it feels great to be home and have Braden here! He is just perfect! He's been eating pretty well and sleeping a little too. =) He loves to cuddle with anyone and the dogs have been doing good with her too. They've been doing a little sniffing, but seem to be acting as usual.

made it home. introduced Braden to Abby, they seem like they'll play together very well in not too long.

We are now leaving the hospital with branden in his car seat and about to meet the dogs at home :)

waiting for the doctor to come so we can all go home. they're expecting 4 other deliveries this morning though, so it could be a while
