Clearly, these boys of mine are pretty darn different looking. Tag with his dark hair and eyes, Eli with his red hue and blue eyes, but I still love to compare their pictures. Here they are both at 4 months...
With Jon working his hiney off through busy season, our Sundays became just about the only day Jon saw the boys and we could be together as a family. And, with me being locked inside with our new little buddy, Heavenly Father must have known I was in dire need of an out. So, on this beautiful Sunday in March we meandered over to the River Parkway and soaked in the sun and fresh air to help us through the coming weeks. AWWWWW, it was wonderful. Aren't we lucky to live in such a beautiful area? 
Our sweet Eli guy made his way into the world on January 10, 2011. I was started that morning around 10 am and he arrived at 4:33 pm. I was dialated to a 4 and 90% effaced when I arrived, yet it was a little slow moving until my water was broken around 2:30 pm. From there the contractions began to come quickly. I then had my epidural about 3 pm and bippity boppity boo!
It was a beautiful experience to share with my love. There is nothing like it on earth to create a little being with your forever mate. Luckily, I also got an amazing record of Eli's birth story through my SIL's talent of photography. I am absolutely in love with what she captured. It really brings the memories right back to me. While there are a lot of pictures here, this is just a small snippet of all she took. I will cherish them forever! Thanks Amanda @ amandaabelphotography.com.
