A Meet & Greet Weekend

Everyone came up this weekend to meet and greet all the new babies. Eric, Katie and Anna came from Richmond and Mom and Dad from North Carolina. Anna is only 5 weeks older than Danny.

Tropical storm Danny

Is this the face of a tropical storm?



From the weather service:
"As Bill weakens and races into the north Atlantic, a new disturbance may become TS Danny".



This is kinda funny, because the first Hurricane of this season was Hurricane Anna. And this certainly is no hurricane:

All we need is a Hurricane Natalie and we'll have all the kids covered!!

Karen's Pictures

Karen came over yesterday to take some pictures of Danny for the announcements. Of course she took a ton of Danny, but also got some good shots of Natalie too.

And so far, so good with Natalie. She's doing a GREAT job at being a big sister

Day 5

Ok, so I've had a lot of complaints that I'm not posting enough pictures. Some people even said they wanted Holly to take over my blog because she did such a great job! By the way, a big thank you to Holly for keeping everyone up to date.

We are home and trying to get into a routine, but things are still a bit blurry. Here are just a few misc pictures from the past 5 days.

Family of Four Complete

It's Holly again!

Carrie just sent me this picture to share with everyone, isn't this one gorgeous family??

I had the pleasure of spending some one on one time with Danny this afternoon. Let me tell you all, he is just the sweetest little baby you will ever meet! He is so peaceful and sleepy and snuggly!! He makes some of the cutest little faces while he's fast asleep too.

Here are a couple of pictures I snapped of him while he was enjoying a nap:

Carrie hopes to be able to go home tomorrow but at the latest they will be discharged on Sunday.

Introducing Daniel Craig Badour!

Daniel (Danny) Craig was born early this morning at 1:16am. He weighs 7lbs 7oz and is 20 inches long.

Carrie and Danny are both doing great! Here is a picture of the little guy:





I will be visiting the hospital later today and report back with more pictures.

Congrats to Greg, Carrie and Natalie!
