Sister Loves Brother

Evie is doing a great job as big sister.. LOVES holding Baby Evan.. Here are some sweet pictures of my two dolls!

New pictures of Evan

Imagine that! More pictures of Evan! Well.. there's a beautiful picture of my Evie as well. These pictures were taken by my wonderful friend, Donita. Enjoy!

Sweet Treat

Last night, my Evie and I decided to make rice krispy treats together. She loved eating off of the spoon.. it's funny how things taste better when you make them yourself.

dimples

My Evan has one dimple in his right cheek.. Daddy makes him smile so easily!

Perfection and best friends

Here are a few pics taken by my friend, Hope, and a picture of Rhylan and Evan together.. they are just a couple of weeks apart and will soon be best friends just like Evie and Rhylan's brother, Brayden. Too cute!

Being home is so nice!

Well.. Evan is 4 days old now.. he does nothing but sleep and want to suck.. that's it.. literally. At night, he wants to sleep as well.. BUT the hitch is that he wants to nurse or be held.. So sleep is a problem for us if we don't want to be up holdinghim.. during the day, he will sleep anywhere you put him.. and doesn't require being held. We need to find a way to reverse this!

Big sister, Evie is doing a great job trying to keep him awake for me but he is relentless with his wanting to sleep.. and after all, he is only 4 days old, so I guess I need to expect that. She loves to hold him as you can tell by the various pictures of the two together. So far, things are going very well!

Welcome Baby Evan!

Thanks to Hope Hegarty for the first two pictures!


We just got home! Evan Matthew Hoctor was born on Tuesday, July 17, 2007 at 2:35 am
weighing 6 lbs. and 2 ounces and 19 inches long. He's a tiny guy and has a dimple in his right cheek that's oh so cute!
Big sister, Evie is loving her new role although she was a bit hyper tonight when we got home.. She just went to bed, (only an hour late), and seems like she will do just fine with the new family member. I am still fighting bronchitis and Daddy is coming down with a cold and has to wear a mask around the new baby. We'll get through it, though!

Thanks to Joe's Mom and Dad for their help, and to Kylla and Hope for bringing premie clothes to the hospital for Evan and Hope for taking pictures that I can't wait to see!
We took some pictures ourselves so I thought I'd share them with ya!
