Baby2 has arrived!!!

Eleanor Marie graced us with her presence on September 1st, very early in the morning! She arrived in time to allow for Mommy and Daddy to watch the entire Navy/ND football game! Definitely an ideal day - arrival of a beautiful baby girl and a Notre Dame win! Life is good!!

As with Ethan, delivering Eleanor was fairly easy once things got going. I am truly blessed to have had two easy pregnancies and to easy deliveries. It has made spending time with both Ethan and Eleanor all that much easier!

Thank you all for the wonderful warm wishes. We are settling in very nicely with our family of four!!
Hope you enjoy the onslaught of pictures!

Love,
Jon, Jen, Ethan and Eleanor

Last night as the Landers, family of 3!

Welcome Baby Eleanor!

It sure is cold out here!

 

All clean!

18.5 inches - a little nugget compared to Ethan!

 

Daddy's turn to hold me!

 


Thank you, Dr Cross and Nurse Bridgette

Man, that was exhausting!!

Sweet baby li'l girl

Hugs from big brother Ethan!

He loves her already!

Okay...that's enough. It's play time!

What can I get into around this joint?!??!

Kisses for baby Eleanor!

Attempt at a family photo...obviously Ethan wasn't having it!

 

Proof that Eleanor was in the photo attempt

Three men and three little babies!

 

Thank you Steve, Kelley, Samantha and Matt for the visit!

Precious itty-bitty catchin' some Zzzzzz's

The two luckiest parents in the world!



Time to pack up and head home

Yes, she would go home in a purple outfit!

Pure innocence!

You ready for this, Eleanor?

 

Snug as a bug!

Daddy making sure she is all strapped in properly!

Alright, Jon....take us home!!

 

Already the protective big brother! He rode all the way home with his hand on her car seat!

Ethan's special socks!  No "bring baby home" day would be complete without a trip to the ER for the older brother! Ethan unfortunately stepped out onto Ms. Danielle's porch and burned the bottom of his feet. He had blisters on the balls of his feet. Poor li'l guy!

FINALLY!! We are home!!

Welcome to the Landers household, Eleanor
