2 Weeks

I'm not sure how two weeks have flown by but our super cute Jarom is two weeks old! He is so fun to be with. Paisley loves to hold him and kiss him. She doesn't like it when she has to leave him alone when he's sleeping. We have loved the last two weeks and wish we could push pause on his life.

Sarah had a special treat with some of the local cowgirls.

Our bodies are recovering, while our spirits are soaring.

OREGON TRAIL

Mom, Dad & Sarah took a "little" drive to Oregon last Friday - Tuesday to visit Daniel Shirl.

One Month Old

We have had a crazy yet wonderful week. Dallin's whole family surprised him and came to Oregon to hike Mt. Hood. (The second time for Dallin.) The weather was bad so the boys ended up not being able to hike but we sure enjoyed being with them. My parents came up for the weekend to bless Daniel. We sure appreciate all their efforts to share that special day with us. Here is Daniel's one month video a few days late.

Todays Activities

We had a busy day today. We first had a visitor. Then we took some pictures on his cute Jarom blanket a nice lady in the ward made him.

Later after Daddy was home from work we took a drive to the bank. Jarom's fingernails are growing so fast and keeps scratching himself. It is pretty sad!
After dinner and the car trip we made some yummy dessert. Paisley was the pudding stirrer.
Then we took Jarom outside for the first time. He seemed to like it, although it was REALLY hot. We watched Daddy picking up the branches from our tree that had problems during the tornado storm on Saturday.
Paisley was the lucky one to pick our first tomato off our plants.
Jason had a lot to clean up today. He had a friend come over and use his chainsaw to cut down all the broken branches. We are getting them stacked up for easy removal. Our huge tree now looks somewhat naked with all that fell during the storm. We're glad none of them landed on our roof.We can't wait to see what tomorrow brings with pretty princess Paisley and sweet Jarom!

Happy Father's Day Dad

Cute Baby Jarom

Life is sure fun with a little bitty baby around. Jarom (NOT Jarome!!!! I'm sick of this already.) is such a joy. He has really mellowed out since his hospital stay. After tons of blood tests his bilirubin has gone down and they should stop using him as a pin cushion! At the doctor yesterday he weighed in at 7lb 6.5oz. He is doing really well and life is happy here!
Jarom's first bath!
He is a good sleeper!
Coming home from the hospital!


On another note, here is what Paisley has been up to:
It's hard being a princess and a big sister!!

30 YEARS AGO TODAY

Since none of you kids were there (in the flesh) perhaps you might be interested to catch a glimpse of how it all began....

NEW BLOG LOOK

To start our next 30 years - a new look to our wonderful blog is in order.
Happy Anniversary Sue,
this is (one of) your anniversary presents.

Happy Anniversary!

Still at the Hospital

As much as Jason and I want to go home Jarom thinks the hospital is fun so we are here for at least another 6 hours (UGH!) This morning to doctor thought he looked a little jaundice and so he got his biliubin tested and it was too high to pass the go home test. Right now he has to "cook" in the lights for 6 hours and then get his blood tested again. We really hope that by then his levels will have dropped and we can get home.

More Jarom

Paisley loves being a big sister, she always tells us that she will hold him a lot.

Trying to get some air bubbles out of Jarom's tumy.

It looks like Jarom might like a binki just as much as his big sister.

Everyone is doing great, we just need to get Jarom nursing regularly so we can go home today, other wise it will be tomorrow.

Jarom Spencer Cornwall

We are very happy to welcome Jarom Spencer Cornwall into our family. He came into our family at 6:10pm after 10 minutes of pushing. He is 7 lbs 10 oz and 20 1/2 inches long with lots of dark brown hair.

Proud Daddy loving holding his first son!

Proud Mommy holding Jarom for the first time.

Jarom has some big feet, which mommy can attest too with all his kicking!

Jarom didn't appreciate all the nurses efforts to clean him off and check him to make sure he is healthy. He has quite a powerful set of lungs!

Our first family photo. Paisley loves being a big sister and is very proud of her "big sister's rock" shirt. She loves Jarom very much. She likes to kiss him, touch his head and hold him with Daddy's help. We are so happy that things went well and that Stefanie is doing so well. Compared to Paisley delivery this was a piece of cake!
