Brothers hanging out on the floor. Patrick just adores him. He is always wanting to give him kisses and touch him. Just wish he'd be a little bit more gentle. It's great that he loves him so much!
Hanging out on the floor with a gift from Aunt Katy.
Spending time with Grandma.
Aaron is 3 weeks old today. Wow, how he has grown and changed in that time. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful baby boy as well as a great 4 year old. To celebrate his 3 weeks of life, Aaron received his first "real" bath. This was the first since his umbilical cord fell off. He wasn't too sure he liked it much. Hopefully that will change in time. We also went out for lunch to Crackers and Co. He slept the whole time. I locked us out of the house (forgot my keys on the table after the AC guy was here) so thank goodness Papa had his keys with him and was willing to come and unlock the door. Thank you Papa! :)
I'm sure he's thinking "thank goodness it's all over!" 
Aaron having some "tummy time" and he's much more alert. Doesn't mind so much being on the floor for short amounts of time.
Papa and the boys. 
In his froggy outfit with his froggy stuffed toy. He's too cute!
The swing is certainly a favorite place for Aaron to be. He spends a lot of the time during the day there. Here he is with his panda from China that Grandpa sent.
Aaron with Dr. Lino Ossanna. He is the OB/GYN that delivered him. He really did a super job. I am very pleased with him!
Patrick and Grandma in the hot tub. Daddy gave him permission to go in and now it's an almost daily ritual. Patrick thinks it's his own little "pool" in the backyard. He certainly has a good time. Often times he is Peter Pan and Grandma is Captain Hook. :) Grandma is a good sport about it all!
Here is Patrick in his Igloo tent. He thinks it's pretty neat that he can fit inside and lay down. Could probably even sleep in it. 
Here he is sporting his new pjs that Grandpa sent him from China. They are pretty cool and look good on him. He had to wear them right after they were washed eventhough it was a bit too warm for long sleeves and pants!
A little "tummy time" on the Boppy. Even his eyes are open!
After the first sponge bath at home. He wasn't very thrilled to say the least. Maybe he'll like an actual bath better.
Aaron is glad to be home. So far the new bouncy seat is a success!
Badger was a little wild initially. He had to smell Aaron and give him numerous kisses. Not sure what he really thinks yet.
Patrick and Aaron watching "Star Wars."
Good night my sweet boy! Time for bed in your cradle on your first night at home. Patrick slept in that cradle as well. It belonged to my Great Grandfather. We are hoping for another good night of sleeping. Just like last night would be great.
It was time to go home today. Aaron had his circumcision this morning and had his discharge papers ready to go by 11am. It took longer for my discharge to get ready. In fact, the Dr. was supposed to come at 12:30 and didn't show til 1:30. That meant we finally left the hospital around 2:30. We were all ready to go home. Both Patrick and Aaron slept on the way home. His first car ride was rather uneventful. 
Patrick had to touch and kiss his baby brother. He is still determined that his name should also be "Patrick." Soon, you will all know. Stay posted as C-section day is quickly approaching!
We love you. Patrick hopes your presents include a basketball, a Star Wars book and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and a Buzz Lightyear for your birthday. You are as fine as wine. 
A very good friend, Mike Schlitz, was seriously injured this past week while serving with the Army in Iraq. We are very proud of you Mike and love you lots! You are strong, so keep on fighting. Please keep Mike and his family in your prayers as his recovery will not be an easy one.

A nice gift for Mommy & Baby O.
