Summer is here!

Life is moving along here and we are doing well. We had to have Sam's bilirubin checked again this week and it is still a bit elevated (14), although down from the last check. So, we are working on getting that down and will have it tested again next week. In addition, we'll go back to UIC on the 13th for another tyrosine level check. If the number is down to the 100's, then we'll be done! Yay! Hopefully it will only take one more test. Sam's little heels look like pin cushions right now! Poor guy!

Here are a few pics from today...you can see that Sam's coloring is still a bit yellow...but he's still adorable!

Hannah held Sam for almost an hour this afternoon and loved every minute of it! She is going to be a great mommy some day! (she's not really sleeping here)

We took these during Ellie's nap, so she missed out on the photo shoot.


Mommy and kids!


We were desperately trying to get Hannah and Ellie to give Sam a kiss at the same time...this picture basically sums up how that went! 21 month olds are not too cooperative!
