Photo Bomb...

I Know I'm way behind on blogging, and I have oodles of pictures to upload.  I will start with Sam's 1st  day of life.  Here are the pictures of him while we were in the hospital.  I felt so fortunate to have gotten to deliver in a place where I knew everyone and I knew that Sam and I would be getting exceptional care.  We were also fortunate enough to only be in the hospital a grand total of 31hrs from time I arrived to be induced to the time we walked out the door to our car.  I had a terrible time trying to sleep ( I don't imagine why) Something about being in a hospital that is also my place of employment seemed to impede my ability to sleep.  As I said, thankfully I only had to spend one night.  Anyway, enjoy the first wave of MANY more pictures to come. 

James getting to meet Sam for the first time.  He was a little unsure, but I  like to think he was excited and knew what was going on.  I wish I would have gotten a picture, but grandma and grandpa Norby were watching him this day for us, and apparently they thought it was a little cold out, because James showed up at the hospital wearing snow pants, stocking cap, gloves, and snow boots.  Nate and I laughed since we usually just throw on his winter jacket and his green crocs.  Apparently we are a little too accustomed to the cold :)

Julie Holding Sam.  I'm not sure why, but I don't have any pictures of my dad holding Sam.  I promise he and Aaron were there too.
