Week 3

 We joined the Dallas Arboretum this week.  Oma Jutta, Mama, Papa and Esra went to a Thursday night concert for the Quebe Sisters, a fiddle band.  It was a great time, although extremely HOT.

I will see you in October though.
Then I can meet Opa Bernhard and the rest of the family.

Esra went to his second week check up with Dr. Porter.

Week 1

Esra's first week was filled with lots of different things.  

We brought him home from the hospital on Friday, June 17. 

We went on our first walk the next day in the BOB stroller.  

Sunday was Father's Day, what a special day for me getting to hold my 4 day old son in my arms!  

Monday was Esra's first pediatrician visit with Dr. Porter.
He weighed in at 8 lbs 1 oz. already over his hospital discharge weight.

Also on Monday we picked up Oma Jutta from the airport for her two week stay with us.  

Welcome Esra Levi
