More Pictures...

We're mostly going to post pictures here. If anyone wants to hear more about the birth feel free to e-mail us. Short version: Ethan was born at a birth center, in a big bathtub. We arrived at 7pm on Thursday the 5th, he was born at 10:30pm and we were walking in the door to our apartment at 8am after trying to rest at the center for the night. My recovery has been awesome.

Noah couldn't wait to hold Ethan when we got home. Right away, he ran to wash his hands without us even asking, so he could hold him.


My sweet Salvatierra guys!

Ethan with his hat from Aunt Kerry. Noah said, "He needs some more clothes on!" and ran to get this hat and matching booties.

Our first attempt at the "bucket bath" - we're still learning about this new bathing method.


Our first night home, all together in the bean bag. Noah wouldn't have it any other way.


Sweet feet


Noah is very affectionate and gentle with Ethan!


Elita gets a turn. She has been such a big help to us!


Our first outing, last night, to visit the Pediatrician. He's looking great!


Thank you to all of you who have been praying for us over these last several days!! God has been so good in protecting us, keeping us healthy, and smoothing this transition from 1 to 2 precious boys. We give Him all the praise for such a perfect delivery!
