Daddy's got to get ready for work, we tried taking a bit of video last night, but when we uploaded it to youtube it was pitch black so we'll try again later, but in the meantime enjoy a few new pix!


We've uploaded a small number of photos from his last hr in the NICU, his car ride home, and his first hours at home.

We're so happy for you! And we're glad to get updates! Just remember that if you ever come up to MN for a visit, we've got a pack and play and a highchair already so you know where to stay ;)
