Some more photos of Koen, and his "superdad", Andy.

Sleeping Beauty

Care to compare.

Here's a link to some day 4 photos of Eliot if you'd care to compare.

Day 2 at home.

First night was.... tough, but I guess ok for the 1st night. Eliot continues to be very sweet. Koen sleeps and eats a lot and that's about it.

Homecoming


As expected, Koen and Renee came home from the hospital today. Both are doing fabulous. Eliot has also taken a keen interest in baby Koen. He has really been very sweet with him and has already shared his two most prized possessions; his blanky and tag book.

5 minutes of fame

If you happened to be watching the 5:00 news in Chicago yesterday, you might have caught a glimpse of Renee, Eliot, and Koen.

If not, here's a link to the clip.

Koen Pazdan Beaver

Today we welcomed our second son to the family.
Koen Pazdan Beaver was born at 6:15 AM on Dec 21st at the Landstuhl Army Hospital in Germany.

7-1/2 lbs and 19.5 in long

Some things get worse before they get better...

So Eliot is well over the "going down the drain" fear, but his worry about the "bees" has grown. We have now added a layer of tape to the window barrier, as well as a "no bee" nightlight (a lion nightlight, chosen specifically by Eliot to keep bees out no doubt due to the ferocious roar), and the most recent addition to the arsenal is the fly/"bee" swatter, as you see pictured here. Mind you, we have not seen a fly, let alone a bee in months, but don't let that fool you! They could be just around the corner trying to get in...

Giddy-up, cowboy!
