Everett’s Birth Announcement

15 Mar

Because Nathan and I have large families, I send out birth announcements and Christmas cards to ONLY family and even that is restricted to grandmas, grandpas, aunts & uncles, & close cousins.  Ok…also a few close friends who live far away.   :)  So for everyone else that we love (who reads this blog), here is Everett’s birth announcement!  If you really want a copy to stick to your fridge, I give you permission to print it out.

These pictures were taken in our home by Spencer Hall.  I will post more of them later.  My wonderfully talented husband designed and created the announcement using Photoshop.  I mentioned to him last night that we should do an announcement soon, and being the great guy he is, he sat down and finished it that night!  What can I say?  He’s amazing.  You can click on this to view it larger.

Everett's Birth Announcement

My 2 Kids

I am quite biased, but I don’t think a mother could have two more adorable children!

This morning while I was nursing Everett, Kaisa asked if she could “hold her” (meaning baby Everett) and I told her she could if she sat down in the rocking chair.  Nathan ran and grabbed the camera and caught these precious moments.  Enjoy!  (Yes, Kaisa has a hole in her mouth.  She slipped in the bathtub and chipped one of her front teeth.)

Kaisa loves giving Everett kisses!

We kept trying to get her to support his head...but the chair did most of the work.

We refer to this as the "choke hold."

He obviously doesn't care for the "choke hold."

What's that, mom?  I'm choking him?

We’re glad Everett survived his big sister’s love!
