I can’t believe it’s been a week already! Baby Ima is settling into the Elam family like a pro, already dominating everyone’s attention with drama such that this world hasn’t seen since baby jennifer reigned:) while each day i feel that we get a little closer to ironing out our new routine, our little peanut has taught us a very important lesson already, she’s absolutely nothing like her big brother! Her olive skin tone, grey eyes, hate for her car seat and lack of interest in food has been a complete conundrum from the lessons we took away on the first round of this journey. check out the rest of our pics from this week

hello all!! We are home from the hospital today having just welcomed Imagen Vada Elam into the world!! She was born at 1:57pm on the 9th day of November weighing in at 8lbs 3oz and measuring 19 in long. The all-natur-al delivery, lasting a whopping 13 minutes caught both jaythan and I by such surprise we were lucky to get settled in our birthing suite before bringing her into the world! We cannot wait for each one of you to meet her and bless her in your own special way.
i’ll post pics as soon as we get them uploaded

We took advantage of the warm-ish weather and drove up to this little train station in the Dells so that Noah (who is in LOVE with choo choo trains) could ride in an actual locomotor.
suffice it to say, Noah was a little shell shocked by the actual choo choo of the train, it was loud with real steam and blasting whistles and it just about scared the crap out of him. Check out some of our other picks from the trip!
