Tyson Announcement

Kids photo shoot

 We had pictures taken 2 weeks ago .  Our photographer is Deanna Johnson with A Day to Adore Photography. It was so fun, and I think they turned out great.  Tyson was 3 weeks old.  He is now 5 weeks old and things are going well.  He is growing so well.  I weighed him last night and he came in at a whopping 12 pounds!  Feel free to tell me which ones are your favorites.  I have to decide which ones to enlarge. 



The last Friday that Jeff had off from work we decided to go on a hike with the girls.  We have

 had amazing weather this month and I have really wanted to be outside.  The girls were pretty whiny and it was hot so it didn't last very long.  It was still a good outing.  I have also been doing a lot of digital scra[booking so I am experimenting with using pages on the blog.  I think if you click on the image you can look at it bigger. 

Tyson week 2

These shoes were crocheted for us by my friend and visiting teacher Kristina. (picture on previous post).  Aren't they adorable?

This is my favorite thing about having a newborn.  I love how cuddly they are.  I love to have him sleep on my chest, it is heaven!

I am trying to get used to this new blogger format.  Looks like I need some more practice. Anyone else having issues?  Anyways here are a few more pics from our 2nd week of Tyson being home.  Last night was the worst night for sleep, but he had been sleeping so good.  Don't know what the deal is, but hopefully it was a one night thing.   

Of course it is Football season at our house which means that Tyson is part of the Steelers cheering squad whether he likes it or not.

Proud big brother.  We are getting Ryan a new jersey for his birthday, Shh don't tell.  We figured Ben Roethlisberger is probably not the best role model for our son.

Baby Tyson is 1 week old
