Adam's Parents Visit

After my parents left, Adam's parents came to visit and help me recover. We had a great time together and Gigi loved having her other set of grandparents visit her! She was very spoiled by them - she got a Minnie Mouse backpack and a Disney princess castle. Adam's mom and I went out to eat several times, did a little shopping at the Mall of America, and visited Target almost daily! Adam's dad also kept very busy since Adam had a list of repairs to do around our new house. We are so grateful for all of his help and hard work! Here are some pics of their time with us...

8 Days Old

Liam's 1st Week

Our 1st week home from the hospital I was able to recover with the help of my mom. I'm so thankful that she was able to come out and help me so much with Gigi and Liam. I don't know what I would have done without her. Here are some pics of the week...

Liam's 1st sponge bath, he didn't like it so much

My dad arrived after 2 long days of driving

 Liam got Gigi this bouncy cow as his gift to her as a new big sister, she just loves it!

We had a great time with my parents and were even able to visit a Russian Art Museum near our house. And we got a LOT of snow, I think it snowed everyday they were here! I'm so glad they came out to visit and spend time with us, it was great having them in our home. Thanks so much for all of your help!

Liam is Born

On April 11th at 8:06 AM baby Liam was born. His full name is Marshall William Craw and he weighed in at 8 lbs 2 oz and was 21 inches long.

My mom was such a big help to watch Gigi for us while I was in the hospital. They had lots of fun together having tea parties, dancing, reading books, playing hide and seek, and playing on grandma's iPad. Gigi got lots of special attention from Grandma and I know it helped out with the addition of a little brother. Here they are visiting us at the hospital...

 proud Daddy

 My recovery went well in the hospital and with the exception of the first two nights he has been such a good baby. Here we are getting ready to go home...

We are so lucky and blessed to have such a sweet and healthy little boy! He has been such a joy to add to our family!

Easter

On Saturday we died Easter Eggs with Gigi and she loved helping Daddy with all the bright colors. Of course her favorites were purple and pink!

 After church on Sunday Gigi got her Easter basket filled with lots of eggs, toys, and of course candy!

We then went to a friends house for a yummy Easter brunch and an Easter egg hunt. I forgot my camera so I don't have any pics but Gigi loved finding all the Easter eggs. :)
