Speaking of January 24th

Apologies for the duplicate reference to our anniversary but I thought it was only fair that I give Mark a shout out for being such a wonderful husband. January 24th was not only the birth of Noah but it was also Mark and I's second anniversary. Sadly I am a lame wife and was not up for much celebration -- we opted to postpone until February 24th (which is almost here!). Mark, however, did not let the day pass without letting me know how much he loved me and had two dozen beautiful roses sent to the house. I am so lucky to have such an amazing husband. Hard to believe 2 years have flown by already. Can't wait to see what the rest of our anniversaries bring. Love you dear!

Hershey Baby Bonanza Comes to an End

The birth of adorable Noah Kray brought an end to the Hershey baby bonanza. Noah was born on January 24th. He weighed in at 9 lbs 1 oz and was 21 inches long. Congratulations to Sandy (who amazingly gave birth with no pain meds!), Chadd and big sister Lyla. For those of you keeping track the 2010-2011 birth explosion of the Hershey High Class of '97 ends in a tie. 2 boys and 2 girls. Timothy and Noah versus Blake and Vivian. Everyone wins in the end though -- we were all blessed with a tiny perfect little one! Wish I had a picture of all 4 little ones together.

More cousins!

It was wonderful to have Paula, Christian, Lucas, Mariana and Leonardo come to visit. I know Timothy will have lots of fun with his cousins in the near future. Mariana was especially attentive to the little man -- so cute! And Paula of course was happy to be around the baby as well. The boys had more fun with the other babies (Winston and Annie). Check out how high Lucas had Winston jumping.

Outfit from Vovo and Grandpa

A few weeks ago Timothy requested to wear his outfit from Vovo and Grandpa. Of course Mark and I obliged. As you can see it fits very well and is perfect for playing on his playmat. Thanks Vovo and Grandpa. We hope you are having a great time in Brazil but can't wait for you to get back!

Blog Takeover

I (Sarah) am temporarily going to takeover the blog since Mark is working and I am at home with time on my hands to update the blog (in theory). I thought it was necessary to disclose this information so that no one attributes the upcoming rambling and likely mistake ridden posts to Mark. I also need to assume control of the blog because pictures of me keep popping up where I look absolutely horrific. I must put an end to that.

So in conclusion ----hopefully in the next week or so there will be a significant number of posts to update everyone on the last two weeks.

Firsts

There have been so many firsts in Timothy's life it's getting hard to keep track of them all. Thought we would document a few for everyone.

Happy Anniversary!!!

Yesterday Sarah and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary. I can't believe it's been two years since that wonderful day in Hershey, I remember it like it was yesterday. It's amazing all that the two of us have accomplished in these past two years, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for us.

Bath Time

Thought we would share some photos of Timothy's first real bath. Thankfully we had Sarah's mom and Aamanda there to help us as we had no clue what we were doing. Timothy didn't really enjoy the experience but he's slowly getting used to it after a few more attempts.

And here we go.

Who knew washing a 8 pound baby took so many hands?

Gotta respect the hair.

Winston making sure we were taking good care of his little brother.

And for my next trick ...

I'll stick my hand in the mouth of this ferocious beast.

Family

Timothy is so lucky to have such a wonderful extended family. Lots of his aunts and uncles have already come from far away to spend time with him, an hose that haven't are headed this way soon. To Grandpa and Vova, he can't wait for when you get back from Brazil.
