Daniel finally let us get a semi-decent picture with his eyes open. I thought they were blue in the hospital (and they really look more blue in person), but now I’m not so sure. Papa has those same crazy gold flecks around his pupils, and it sort of throws off the color a bit.

Mama really does get to spend time with her boy, but she’s usually the only one who thinks to pick up the camera when something cute/embarassing/inappropriate is going on. Papa’s a complete idiot over Daniel, if that’s not obvious already…

Daniel enjoys his Papa time.

Little Daniel is not at all picky about how he is held.  He’s happy just to hang out.

Nothing beats the comfort of PJs and a sleep sack.

We’ve taken the phones out of the bedroom, so PLEASE don’t be afraid to call and schedule visits, etc. You won’t disturb us. If we don’t answer the phone, it just means we’re busy taking care of some very basic needs. Just keep calling until you get hold of us. Leaving voicemail is fine, too, but we’re not really remembering to check that much.

I apologize that we’re seeming a little withdrawn right now. We have stuff going on – just keep after us and we’ll get it worked out!

Thanks, guys. Still much love. Don’t be frustrated with us.
