April Excitement

April continues to be a busy month. During General Conference and Easter Weekend we went up to West Valley. We had an Easter Egg Hunt and celebrated Sarah's 2nd Birthday. (Sorry, we don't have any pictures because our camera was in the car and I was too large-with-child to go get it.) Sarah got an almost-life-size Dora doll and a fun book. She was pretty excited. We decided to celebrate early since I was planning on being in the hospital on Sarah's actual birthday.

David, Rebecca, and Sarah continue to adjust to life with a little brother. They are glad that Mommy continues to feel better too.

While Ganon was home to help with Tommy, he taught David to ride his bike without training wheels. David has been so excited and continues to practice whenever I let him.

Tommy continues to eat and sleep, but not as predictably now. I think he's going through a growth spurt. He is still pretty easy-going, but has found the volume control on his voice box. He can cry pretty loud now, but he doesn't cry for long. We love having him here. He definitely adds to the excitement of life.

Thomas James Connelly

Yesterday we welcomed little Tommy to our family. We had a voluntary induction and were in the hospital for just over eight hours before Tommy arrived. Labor and delivery went smoothly. The doctor and nurses have done a great job taking care of us.
Tommy was born at 2:20 pm with a full head of hair. He weighed in at 8 lbs 3 oz and measured 20 inches long. He wins the award for biggest baby and easiest/quickest delivery.
Tommy's brother and sisters have been very excited for the baby to come. They have been well cared for by their Grammie and Grandpa while we've been at the hospital. We look forward to going home tomorrow and resuming the adventure we call "normal life."
