Our Family Finally Together

On Sunday Vince and Zoë were able to finally meet their little brother for the first time!  Since Luca's birthday two weeks ago.... either Vince or Zoë, or both of them, has had a cough/fever/GI bug.... you fill in the blank.  They've pretty much had everything that has prevented them from visiting our newest member of the family.  Vince has been wanting to meet him in the worst way.... and has lovingly nicknamed him two different names which he interchanges at his own will.  On any given day he'll either call him "the man in the yellow hat" or "curious george"(we still need to get him a yellow hat).

Vince was so incredibly happy and totally beaming when he finally saw his little brother, it was the sweetest thing I've ever seen!  He practically jumped through the window.....

Beth Israel Hospital allows siblings to come into the rooms to visit their little brothers/sisters, but here at South Shore Hospital there is no one under 16 years old allowed, regardless if they are siblings or not.  So, the first family photos of all of us "together" actually has us separated by a window.... but that's ok!

Here's the latest picture, with Luca having graduated from incubator to crib!

And here he is sporting new threads from his Ralph Lauren Layette, the kid is already better dressed than the rest of the family!
