Parenthood is the Best Thing EVER :)


We joyfully welcomed home Thomas Patrick Lenhardt Laurino last month! March 24th at 11:36pm he entered the world: 21 inches long, 7lb 15oz, and sunny side up.

Today is his 7 week birthday... it's hard to believe how quickly the days go by. He continues to eat, poop, and grow at an amazing rate, and his character is already emerging. Determined on tummy time, inquisitive on walks, overflowing with love & joy when he smiles - we just delight in him. Thomas has been fighting the sniffles for well over half his life now, so we're praying he'll feel better soon. Despite that setback, he rolled over on Day 17 (which blew us away), and he is doggedly working on his crawling skills every chance he gets! We definitely got a mover :)

Amy celebrated her first Mother's Day with her first RUN since the birth - it was exhilarating!
Then Joseph bravely allowed her to experiment with cutting his hair!! Joseph celebrated the day playing guitar for mass, and singing too, which was a first! Amy & Thomas would like you to know that he sounded fantastic :)

We have been so blessed by all of our friends' and family's generosity! We have loved spending evenings with friends who prepared meals for us :) Thank you!

Seattle has been celebrating this season of new life with gorgeous,sunny days. We are out with Thomas in the front pack (aka The Snugli) every chance we get. Lots of love to all of you. We keep you in our prayers.
