Back up to Easter

Oops. I forgot to add our pictures from Easter. We had a fun family day that began with an egg hunt in the back garden followed by a day at the Fairyhouse Racetrack. We did this last year too. Easter is a big Family Fun Day at the track so there are many activities to keep the kids entertained between each race. This year they got to ride on a pony and Isabella rode a horse.

bathtime, picnic and friends

Here are some pictures of us just hanging out doing normal daily activities. Emmett's first bath at the hospital and his first big bath at home, a family picnic at Ardgillan Castle on one of our beautiful sunny days, and the kids playing with their good friends Bronagh and our next door neighbor, Eve.

Park, Beach, Birthday

This is what everyone was doing while I stayed home with Emmett and recovered. They had the best weather of the summer that week so were able to spend a lot of time outside. Oh and we must not forget that Daddy turned 30! Happy 30th Eric!

Emmett's Birth Day

We were overjoyed to welcome Emmett Ryan Meyer to our family on May 20, 2010 at 6:00 in the evening. He weighted 10 pounds 15 ounces and was almost 22 inches long. He looks a little worse for wear, but the bruises went away pretty quickly. These are all pictures of us at the hospital. We were fortunate enough to have Grandma there in time for his arrival and that certainly made getting to the hospital easier. We didn't have to worry about getting Isabella and Nolan to someone's house or how they would handle all of the chaos that went along with staying at someone's house overnight. Grandma's plane landed at 8:00 AM and Eric and I were in the hospital by 11:30 AM. It all worked out brilliantly.
