Life these days

Taking care of baby

Devouring some yummy banana bread our neighbor brought us

She likes butternut squash soup...go figure

Owen is a great sleeper so far!

Bapa came back from his sailing trip and met Owen.
They share the middle name Winslow, which is a family
name going back to the Mayflower.

Owen is 1 week old!

Sharing her toys

I think we have a lot of shots like this with Eliza

Talking with Nana Sue the day we came home from the hospital

At this time last week, I was in labor, anxiously awaiting Owen's arrival. The time in the hospital went by fast and we've been at home, figuring out life with 2 kids since Saturday. Nana Sue has been a huge help with Eliza...especially because Owen seems to sleep the longest stretch from 4 am-9 am. We have been able to sleep while he is sleeping and Nana Sue got up with Eliza. We're hoping to get into a better pattern soon! Overall, it's going well and Eliza seems to be doing ok. She has her moments, but we all do. We're so grateful for our friends and family that have been helping out, providing food, taking the dogs for walks, and loving all 4 of us!

2 years, 2 babies

Leaving Martha Jefferson Hospital with Eliza, November 2008

Leaving with Owen, October 2010

All I can say is I look tired in both pictures!

Owen Winslow Saunders

Baby brother finally made his appearance on Thursday, October 14th at 5:02 pm. He is very sweet and Eliza is enjoying being a Big Sister. Click here for lots of pictures!

Carter Mountain 2010

Baby Brother decided to give us a little more time as a family of three. Uncle Ben was in town for the FSU/UVA game, so the Adlers and NanaSue and Bapa came down for dinner Friday night. Saturday, Jenny and Bella went to Carter Mountain with us while Max and Lee were at the game. We're glad we got to go to the Apple Harvest Festival, but we are really ready for this little guy to make his appearance now!

Fun at Yoder's Country Market

On Saturday Eliza and I met Mom, Jenny, Bella, and Max at Yoder's Country Market in Madison. The kids got to pet and feed some goats (or doggies as Eliza called them) and chickens.
