New Addition

Our first family photo
The Martin family expanded by one last Monday night.  After about 18 hours and other events I'd rather forget, the little man finally decided to show up.  We couldn't be happier or more excited.  Jen and Evan are truly my heroes and the toughest two people I've ever met.  Thankfully, the stay in the hospital ended late Friday night and everyone was able to come home together...as a family.  After being stuck constantly with needles and hooked up to constant monitors during his stay, it's great to have the little man home and wire-free.

I can't begin to express how thankful we are for all the support from family/friends (prayers, emails, phone calls, etc).  We are forever grateful.

Here are a few pictures from the past week.

In the nursery.  I think we need a bigger table.

Pictures Evan's cousin Elise drew to welcome him home b/c "he won't be able to color until he's older".

  5. Elise says: "I love Evan. He is handsomE. I love you. He's zero now, but when he gets 1, you can teach him how to walk." (she dictated AND typed...that took 15 minutes...)
