Meet the Family

After we were back in our room we were able to start calling, emailing and texting all of our family and friends, who were anxiously awaiting the announcement of Sam's arrival. Shortly after the big announcement Papa and Meema brought Jack to FINALLY meet his new brother. We were a little nervous about this meeting and how Jack would respond to Sam, as Jack had taken to calling bears "baby." We thought that he may end up disappointed that Sam wasn't furry and didn't produce honey! Thank goodness we were wrong!


Hi brother...we're going to have tons of fun together!


Hi Meema, when will you give me some m&m's?


Hi Papa! We thought it to would only be fitting to have each of our boys carry a name from our families. Jack's middle name came from the Hanks side, so Sam's came from the Dresel side. Who better to be named after than Papa Tim.


I'm pretty sure that Tom's big smile isn't for the camera, but rather from the okay on being discharged from the doctor. Who can blame him? I certainly wouldn't have wanted to sleep on that "bed" he had to!

A HUGE thanks to our parents for taking the time to be with us as we welcomed Sam into the world. We can't even begin to express our gratitude for all of the the love and support you give to us each and every day!
