Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!! We missed everyone this year but we enjoyed a very nice white Christmas in Seattle.

Santa brought us a video camera. We hope you enjoy the video.

The Stone's and Robertson's helped us celebrate on Christmas Day. It is getting more and more crazy as the boys get older.

Let it snow!!!

Wow.... check out the snow. Seattle received several inches of snow over the last couple of weeks. It was really nice to have a white Christmas.

Thanksgiving

Debby and Cole were in town the week of Thanksgiving. We all had a good time hanging out and getting to know Andre.

Debby and Cole had a good time watching the Seahawks play the Giants! Unfortunately we lost (again).

The house was full for Thanksgiving dinner. Sam, Stephanie, Tara, and Julian joined us for the big meal.

Zen baby! Grasshopper says "your heart and mind must be one".

Grandma Deb's Visit

Grandma Deb arrived just 2 days after Andre was born and was a big help. I was able to get a little more sleep and relax some while she held him.


This is an adorable picture but we had to explain the new sleeping rules to Grandma Deb (no blankets or toys!).


Here is one of Dad changing a diaper. His favorite activity!

Look at the size of his feet.

Piper is doing great. She does not know exactly what to think about Andre but she has been very sweet to him.

Andre James De Leon is here!

Andre James De Leon arrived on November 8th at 7:50 am. It started on Friday afternoon when I called Nick at work and said "honey, I think you should come home." After talking to our doula Nancy, we headed to Beth's Cafe for an incredible meal of pancakes and eggs. The contractions were still not that intense so we headed home for a nap and to see if "this was it".

At around midnight and about 3 hours of sleep, I got out of bed and said "OK.... that one hurt!" We arrived at the hospital around 2:40 am with my contractions around 2 to 3 minutes apart. My midwife checked me and I was fully dialated! Yea! I spent about two more hours in the bath and then about two hours pushing before Andre arrived. It was an amazing experience and I really could not have asked for things to go any better! Welcome Andre!

Baby Shower

We had a lot of fun during the weekend of the baby shower (September 28th). The moms came into town and James was here too. Everyone got to see just how big Baby DeLeon is getting.

A huge thanks to Tara, Erin, and Megan for hosting the shower!
