First off, we want to thank everyone for their emails, phone calls, texts, cards, and visits! If we haven’t gotten back to you, please know your well wishes are much appreciated…we’ve just been a tad busy.
So here are the highly anticipated, often requested, sometimes demanded, MANY pictures of Tyson’s first week. We start off before he was born… and FYI, even though I had contractions for 17 hours, the doc did not make me attempt to push the big guy out (thank goodness!). Off to the c-section, which was a quick and surreal experience. Travis bravely watched the whole thing. 20 minutes and 20 staples in my stomach later, our little family was reunited in the recovery room. Over the next 5 days in the hospital, we had lots of family and friends come to visit. Tyson definitely enjoyed all the attention. The nurses told us repeatedly that he was the cutest baby they had ever seen – of course I believe them.
Finally on Tuesday, we were released into the real world (check out Tyson’s dapper going home outfit). So, we’ve spent the last few days adapting our schedules and adjusting the surroundings for the little guy. You might notice I look a bit tired, but we’re starting to figure things out! Oh, and the day we came home, Travis’ Wii drum set arrived. I ordered this for him LAST Christmas… and it shows up the day we bring a newborn home! I think it’s a sign Tyson is going to be a drummer like his daddy.
Awesome! Can’t wait to see him again! Let us know when you are up for more visits… He is such a cutie!
What an adorable family!!! Such a handsome boy. I can’t wait to see you all!
Love them all but especially the tuxedo — my friends are going to take my email away because I keep sending them so many photos. I do believe that the little fat boy with the double cheek looks just like me….. I just love him so much! Hugs
He is truly adorable but I know I don’t have to tell you that. Geez! You guys did good! Keep posting those pics, want to see him growing. 🙂
Love

Saw my Little Big Man again today – even more beautiful than before. Is it okay to say a BOY is beautiful – he is!! And now I can stare at the graphics on the wall above his crib and clearly see TYSON! How come I couldn’t figure that out before?? What a good little boy he is. Travis did a great job baby sitting while I took Amanda out for lunch and shopping. Were you boys playing those drums???? And now the big sisters are home – what a happy family. Love you all so much!!

Hi Amanda, Travis,
Congratulations on producing the most adorable Baby in the form of Tyson. Well done!!!!!! He is truly Handsome and indeed Beautiful. I think Marigold & Tessa will adore him when he is big enough to play with them.
