Baby Leo!

We are so grateful for the arrival of baby Leo Patrick Kessi! He was born at 7:05pm on May 16th. 9lbs, 9oz.   It was a long day as I checked in at 7:30am, and not a lot happened until 6:45pm! I was so grateful that it happened then, though, because my Nurse Midwife, Jabke, was on until 7pm! So we made it just in time for her to deliver him. 

It was such an awesome feeling to deliver him and know that he was here and healthy! I'm going to try to add more pictures soon, but wanted to publish what I have so far! 

It was so fun to have the kids come visit the day after he was born!

Then it was back home! We were able to go home on Thursday morning, the 18th.  It was surreal to leave the hospital with a baby!  

Will's 9th bday and 1st Communion!

We had a big weekend celebrating Will's 9th birthday and his 1st Communion! My parents came to town late Friday night to be there in time for his baseball game on the morning of his birthday, then he had a birthday party right after his game.  Then it was on to his 1st Communion the next day! 

Birthday morning!

Fun to hang out with both Grandmas! 

Pizza party with his team, sisters and friends right after the game! 

His 1st Communion crew!

He had to make a banner for the big day!
