Glad to be home

It is so sweet to be home again with my family, although I do miss snuggling with my nephew. He is so cuddly. I forgot how sweet newborn moments are. I am recovering today from a root canal that I had yesterday.
Jayden and I are looking forward to our first date night. Tomorrow we are going to watch the Disney Nature's Earth movie. I am just as excited as he is about the trailer and spending time just with him. Madelyn is doing more and more things each day. I can't believe how well she can climb. She is like a little monkey on the kitchen chairs, ottoman, and couches. Tons of energy and so sweet natured. She also is learning to be quite antagonistic at play with her brother.

Bryce Dalton: Home from the hospital: Baton Rouge LA

Well, we made it home. Kristin and Matt are doing a fabulous job of being a mommy and daddy. Bryce is such a sweet and happy little baby. It is so fun to be a part of this special time for the Daltons. Here are a few pics from today in the sun and after suntanning time.

Cutest picture in the world

Leaving the C-section OR....Kristin called one of her closest friends to tell her Bryce's name and his arrival news while he watched his mommy listening to every word she said about him....How sweet! Here is the pic and a note from her face book page about it.

Such a sweet memory :-)....This is my favorite picture and memory, I was telling Cheryl... The first person to hear by phone about Bryce. He was sleeping when they gave him to me and then his eyes opened wide and he looked at me when I started talking and it was like he was thinking that is the voice I have heard for months.-Kristin

Congrats to Kristin and Matt

Yeah!!!!!
Bryce Caden Dalton has arrived. He weights 7 lbs 14 oz and a whopping 21 3/4 inches long. He is soooo adorable. Here are a few pics. Hope you enjoy. I will update again soon.

So excited

Tomorrow I am heading to Louisiana finally. I am so excited to hopefully make it to my sister's before her delivery. She has been having contractions for two days, more consistently. Today at her aptmt, her MD told her that she would be out of town for four days (starting Thursday). So she would like to induce her tomorrow night at 10 pm if she hasn't had the baby yet. I will fly out at 11 am and arrive by 2:30 pm. Loosing one hour and being a late night induction will be a very long day for us. But I know the adrenalin will allow me to stay strong. Please pray for Kristin and a safe/healthy delivery of her baby boy as well as strength for me to be there for her and Matt as they need me. I will post when the opportunity arrives. Thanks to all.

Excited for the arrival of my nephew

My mother arrived tonight. How fun...Jayden and Madelyn were full of squeals to see her. She made the long car ride in just over 8 hours from PA. She will be staying for a bit....not sure how long. She will be helping us take care of Jayden and Mady while I go to help Kristin with the arrival of Baby Dalton. Her due date by calendar is a week away but by ultrasound size only a few days away (this thursday). I hope he comes soon but most of all I hope that Kristin has a safe and healthy delivery without complications. When I return, mom will fly down to help Kristin for a week or so. We are all so excited to meet Baby Boy Dalton!!!

Cheers

A while ago, we taught Jayden how to say cheers and tap his sippy cup to our glasses at the dinner table. This morning, Jayden taught Madelyn .....She says "eers" and holds her sippy cup off the high chair tray for him to tap with his sippy cup. It is so adorable. Then they grin and giggle. They repeated this several times while eating their cereal bars. It made my morning.
