Fall Updates

It's been a while since I've posted pictures of my sweet boys, so here goes:

Rory Came Home!

Rory came home Monday, October 20. How cute does he look all snuggled in his car seat?

My Handsome Nephew

So we finally got some pictures of this beautiful baby boy, and he is gorgeous!!! He's no longer using the CPAP, so we can get a really good look at his precious lil' face.

I see a total blend of Cari & Dan in him, although I know he'll be changing day by day. (And he might even have his Grandpa Connell's nose!) :-)

Mommy and Daddy got to hold him, which I know they were very excited about. And doesn't Cari look great?!?! You can't even tell she was ever pregnant!

I'm an aunt!!!

Sorry it's been so long since my last post - I've been a total slacker! But, now I have some really big news to share!

On Wednesday, October 8, 2008 I became an aunt to Rory James Lichtman. He weighed 4 lbs, 8 oz, and is 17 inches long. He is a gorgeous little man, and I am already smitten. I can't wait for Zach & Ian to get to meet him - I know they will fall in love just as fast as I did! Because he's still a preemie, he will spend a fair amount of time in the NICU, but I know each and every day he will grow stronger and healthier.

Sadly, Rory's twin brother, Drew Aaron Lichtman, was stillborn. He put up a courageous battle to grow, but I know he will be an angel in heaven for Rory and his Mommy & Daddy. Drew weighed 1 lb, 10 oz, and was 12.5 inches long, and he was just as beautiful and precious as his "big" brother.

Please join me in keeping Cari and Dan in your prayers as they begin their wonderful journey as parents and mourn the loss of their beautiful baby boy.
