Meet the sibilings








Jenna and Zac came the day after Gage was born to see him. I didn't have my camera the first time they came back to see him in the nursery, but there was love written all over their faces. Zac said in a high voice, "He is soooo cute". They loved him from the moment they saw him. It would melt your heart. These pictures are of later in the day when they saw him again. Jenna is so sweet and proud of Gage!

We came home the next night and it was the first time that Trevor had seen Gage. Kids under 2 aren't allowed in the nursery so he didn't get to see him in the hospital. I guess they assume that you wouldn't be crazy enough to have a child under 2 and a new baby. If fact that reminds me that as we walked out of the nursery Zac said, "I can't believe we are going to have TWO babies. This is going to be hard work!" That cracked up the nurse that I loved in the NICU- Patty. Anyway, how insightful of Zac, or maybe he's just a good eavesdropper!
So when we got home, Trevor saw Gage and looked at him with a priceless look. Not really of jealousy or even curiosity, maybe awe is the best word. Kind of like, "is that real?" He wasn't incredibly soft with him and insisted he fold his little arms too during family prayer that night. Trevor and the new baby will keep me on my toes, if not only as individuals but with their interactions- if you call Trevor doing stuff to and around Gage interaction.
Jenna and Zac of course had met him and understand things. Mom called the kids up from downstairs and said, "your baby brother is home". Zac said "Oh yeah! What's his name?"
They are too funny. They are doing great with him!
