Welcome home Sam!!

Two down, two to go! Sam came home from the NICU on Wednesday, May 27. So far, he and his brother Henry have taken it easy on us and not caused too much trouble. :) We've been fortunate to have the generous help of my mom and best friend Jen (who arrived Thursday from Amsterdam) to get us through the feedings - and to keep us fed!

Here's a shot of Sam and his proud parents just before leaving the NICU. Henry was there with us that day and actually took this shot for us. :) He's very advanced.


Getting all those car seats in and out of the new minivan isn't as easy as one might think...


Sam snoozed on the way home - once he got settled into his car seat.


Our next exciting news is that Joe will be coming home tomorrow (Sunday)! We are thrilled to have three of our boys at home, but will certainly find it difficult to leave Tom at the NICU without the company of his brothers. The nurses, nurse practioners and doctors have assured me that Tom will get plenty of extra TLC in his brothers' absence. And I'm holding them to it!

More homecoming photos to come soon!
Lots of love,
Kristin, Tim and the boys

  3. Hope all is going smoothly with 3 at home now. Can't wait to see how much they have grown since I saw them last. I played a slot machine called Lucky Babies (with them in mind)but it wasn't so lucky for me. Other than that, Aruba is wonderful. See ya later this week, Jugenia

  7. Had such a nice day with all of you on Sunday. The boys are so precious and it was really special to be there when Joey came home. Seeing the three in their bed at home was awesome. Tommy will come home in due time and there will be a big celebration for all of you. He is going to progress at his own speed, but he will progress!! He is a doll. Tim and Kris, just hang in there. You've come through a lot with the little guys and it's just not quite over yet. Prayers continue for all of you and extra for Tommy.
    Love you, Mom and Dad

  10. You look amazing!!!! I would never know that you just had not one, not two, but FOUR babies! So glad to hear that your home is almost complete now that three of the boys are home. You must be so excited. I love reading this blog. You're going to have to keep it up even as the boys are growing up. School's almost out and I would love to come down to meet the boys. You all are always in my thoughts.
    love,
    Beth
