First few weeks home

Some random pictures from our first few weeks home….

Emery's first bath at home….

 Elli helped….Emery did pretty well at the beginning with the bath, but was screaming by the end.

 We had to do some supplementing the first few weeks because of Emery's weight loss.  Here is Connor giving her a bottle...

 Passed out….

 This girl has given us so many smiles in her sleep (and a few while she's been awake)!

 Big smile…..

 Big Yawn….

 She was 1 week old here….

 That hair….

 Trying to get a good picture of all of them in their big sister/brother and little sister shirts….

 We made it to church the Sunday after she was born….here is a picture of all the kids before church!

Emery Meets Family

We're so thrilled that Emery has been able to meet so many family members thus far….

Meeting Papa Brauchler

 Papa Lindvall

 Nana & Papa Lindvall

 Nana Lindvall….Nana came to stay with us a few days before Emery's delivery….that way we could go to the hospital when we delivered without having to worry about where we needed to take the kids!

 Meeting big brother and big sister!!  One of Connor's first comments was 'I don't like the baby'  I'm happy to report that he has since come around to her!  Both kids have done awesome since she's been born!  Connor had a few rough weeks surrounding her birth, but other than that, they've both done great!!

 Connor & Emery!

 Nana Brauchler

 1st picture of all 5 of us

 Just the girls….

 Sarah….ok ok….so she's not a blood relative, but we consider her family!!

 Elli was soooooo excited that Emery was a girl!  She has been such a big help with her also!

 Meeting cousin, Avery.

 Meeting cousins, Maddy & Kensley.

 Meeting Uncle Ross and cousin Vander.  Dane was outside playing….I asked him a few times if he wanted to hold Emery, but he wasn't as interested as all the girls at the party.

 Meeting Great- Grandma and Grandpa Brauchler

 Meeting Great-Grandma and Grandpa Zurcher and Great- Aunt Carla

 Meeting Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Amber

 Kisses for Emery

 Meeting cousin Kayla.  Kayla came to stay with us for a few days after Emery was born.  She was a big help with the older kids and kept them entertained while I took care of Emery!
