More Isaac!

How did we pick Isaac's name, you ask? Well, Isaac is Jared's middle name and we had always liked the idea of using it should we ever be blessed with a son. Also, it means "He who laughs", and who doesn't wish for a lifetime of laughter and joy for their child?

Nathaniel was a little bit tricky. We wanted to try and keep the 2 syllable, 4 syllable pattern that Leah's name has, so that narrowed down our choices some. Nathaniel was really the only one that flowed the way we liked, and upon looking up the meaning we found that it meant "God has given". With a meaning like that, how could we resist?


Being in the hospital can get pretty boring, and sometimes there's just nothing else to do but sleep. These two jokers are perfect examples...Like father, like son.

Since Isaac was so tiny, he wasn't very good at holding up his body temperature on his own. Turns out he just needed to spend an extra night under a warmer in the NICU and he's doing ok now. He looks so much smaller with all these wires and lines coming out, doesn't he?

While Isaac was in the NICU, Jared went and picked up Leah to come hang out for a while.

She read books, colored (On more than just her paper, unfortunately. Hopefully the hospital won't mind the artistic flair added to Room 4676.), ran around the room like a wild banshee, extremely exhausted me, etc.
