Our Little Rockstar

I had so much fun editing that I decided to do some more. This is for my brother Jon who liked the original 'rock legend' picture.

Our little Jet is all growed up and singing in concerts.

Touched by an Angel

A few months ago I was guided by a friend to a great website called aviary.com. It is basically a suite of creative software such as a picture editor, vector editor, music editor, etc. that is browser based. Best of all, its all free. So, I've done some playing around on it from time to time, pretending like I have creative talent. Since the post yesterday I got to thinking, "Why should I leave this great image to the imagination when I can bring it to life." So, I set out to bring Jethro to the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. After a little bit of editing it seemed convincing enough to share to the world. So, I now unveil to you...'Touched by an Angel' a tribute to the Sistine Chapel...


For those interested in a powerful suite of creative software you can access without any downloads, and on any computer that has an internet connection, at a price that can't be beat(unless they pay you to use it...which would be awesome), I suggest you check out aviary.com.

'Jetley'

I saw Little Jet doing this one morning just before he woke up and just had to get a video of it. Here is 'Jetley' fighting the monsters invading his Green Bubbly Mosquito Fortress...

First Week Home

Little Jet has been so active for his first week home. Naturally as parents we believe that our baby is the cutest on earth, so we've been snapping pictures like crazy. Its been hard choosing which ones to upload here on blogger, but we can't put them all up...that would be way too many. So, we've put together a little collection of our favorites from Jethro's first week home.

These last pictures are from this morning, and some of them are just PRICELESS!

Here we have our own 'Kung Fu Baby' -- Jetley


In this one Little Jet looks like he belongs on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel...


Here's a reference, if you don't believe me...



And in the last one he wants to let everyone know that he is all-around, not only does he know Kung Fu, and appreciate Classic Art, but he is also a Rock Legend.



We're sure that there are going to be many many many pictures to follow. He's too cute to not post the many pictures we capture.

First Day on the 'Outside'

Jonah and I went to the hospital this morning to check that everything is ok, to see if we could bring our Little Jet home. After a short talk with our pediatrician, she gave us the go signal. So, we went to the nursery, told them that he was ready to be discharged, and they brought his charts down to the billing department. Upon paying they gave us a stub to release him from the nursery, and they took the clothes we had brought for him so they could get him changed. While we were waiting, Jonah's whole family showed up to see the little guy. After the nurses brought him out we went to get some lunch at McDonald's with the family while waiting for the vehicle we had borrowed, then hopped in the van and home we went. We put Little Jet in his crib and snapped some pics so that everyone can see how adorable he is!

He's Here!!!

Finally, after 9 months of waiting, our little(or maybe not so little) baby is here. He was born on October 21, 2009, at 7:12 pm, weighing 8 lbs 8 oz and measuring just about 19 1/2 inches long! Its amazing how adorable the little guy is!



One thing that we noticed about him right away is his cute smiling face. I haven't been able to get a very good angle because he's been behind the nursery glass since he arrived, but you can tell here how happy he is.


Unfortunately, the day after his B-day he started vomiting, so they had to put him on an IV and antibiotics, but even though he's got needles in him he's still as happy as can be.


We were finally able to get his mommy in there so they could connect for a little while. I thought this shot was great with him looking into the eyes of his mommy.




Then, today we were able to take Jonah out of the hospital and go home. Unfortunately, little Jethro is going to have to stay under the care of his Pediatrician for the next few days until he can finish his antibiotics, and they can make sure any infection is gone.



Be sure to keep him, as well as his mommy, in your prayers.

38 Weeks!!!

Here are the latest preggy pics,

and our little baby's crib. We borrowed this little old crib from a relative of Jonah's. It was looking a bit worn, but we had Jonah's father coat it a few times with white paint, then we went over it with the green, to give it a cute, more unique look. Jonah's down to the wire with the pregnancy, and Jonah's doctor said that, according to the pelvic x-ray there's a possibility that she won't have to go under the knife for a C-section.
