Burke at 1.5 Weeks

easter dress

An unexpected early arrival postponed the wearing of the Easter dress. Leoni wore it a week late, but then she wanted nothing to do with pictures. This is the best of the bunch.

Removing hair clip

Holding a bunny--upside down

Refusing to look at the camera

This sums it up

Dyeing Easter Eggs

Also delayed, was our celebration of Easter.  Since we had to do things in chronological order, and not all on the same day, Easter was pushed back by Leoni's birthday.  Also, Easter Sunday is a work day here, so we were working around travis' schedule to make sure and include him in the festivities as well.

Sampling a hard boiled egg

Pretty tasty

Now for the yolk

Down the hatch

Chewing

Realizing she doesn't really like that part

Spitting it out

Carefully lowering an egg into the dye

Carefully lowering fingers in, too

Pulling out a colored egg

Adding it to the pile of eggs

Here goes another (not so careful now)

Luckily, this wasn't a toss

With the finished eggs

Loving Her New Brother

Hugs

Reading a story

Leoni's birthday

Because Mom was in the hospital on Leoni's birthday, we "rescheduled" for a couple days later.  Luckily, she is young enough to not know the difference.  Happy 2nd birthday!

Presents

The cake

It ended up as a pink elephant because sometimes food coloring is difficult to find here.  We were only able to find red, yellow, and green.  So, it ended up as a pink elephant. 

Mostly excited to eat it

Blowing out the candles

Before we could even cut it, she was picking off the jellybeans

And enjoying them

Always time for a little snuggle

Burke at Two Days Old

Burke Douglas Wilson

So, I realized that all these posts from Burke's early days are sitting in "drafts" rather than having been published.  So, for the two people that read this, here are some pictures from nearly two years ago.

He arrived VERY quickly.  If you are interested in the story, you'll have to ask.

Leoni loving the hair cover they put on the female patients as you are being wheeled through the hospital (for modesty).

Meeting her brother

Not sure if she wants to pass along the infant seat/recliner yet
