Yes Again...

Are you kidding me? How is it possible to be that stinkin' cute? Don't you just want to eat them all?
Thanks for the warm welcome cousins!
Ezra and I are back in Idaho...Murv is still in Texas. We will be here for...awhile...don't knowhow long...but at least until he doesn't get heatstroke from being outside or inside at our house in Texas...Since the cabin is not done and there is still no running water and bathroom and it's 110 plus super high humidity and there is no air conditioning-- I decided the baby and I could use a little refuge from the extreme living conditions!

Lindsay's Post

My sister Lindsay did a really good post about our time in Austin, It is on July 7th, 2008 and is titled "Welcoming Ezra"--click here

Unhooked

Ezra got to leave the NICU! He was able to be slowly weaned from the oxygen, his lungs are miraculously clear and he finished all his antibiotics and passed all his tests and screens-- and they finally cut him loose. We spent one night with him at the hospital in a parents "room in" so that we could have back up support through his first night unhooked. He did great! It felt so good to have him close and not have anybody (except murv) telling me what I could and couldn't do with him. I finally took a deep breath and was able to relax. We are now at my aunt Tina's house in Houston with my mom and Ezra is adjusting very well to life on the outside. He is changing everyday! Yesterday we gave him his first bath and he and I are just working away at the feeding/eating thing and I am very grateful for my mom and my aunt's expertise-- this whole feeding thing is not as easy as it looks. Thankfully Ez is a sleeper-- he sleeps about 4 hours at a time so I get to rest a little too--at least for now... :)
Thanks Dad and Lindsay and Eli for coming to help-- we could not have made it through that first week without you!
