Christmas Day

Christmas Eve Slideshow

Cecilia on Christmas Eve

Just a short clip of a very excited Cecilia on Christmas Eve before we started decorating the tree. You can hear her "talk" when she says "ho ho" and then "daddy" and "mama." But mostly it just shows how weird and wacky she can be.

Merry Christmas!!

From the VA Tompkins family :) We miss you and love you all!

A "few" more...

Sorry for the delay in posting more pictures, but we have been a little preoccupied with getting home from the hospital, trying to take things easy, looking after our two little babies, and just soaking up every minute of this exciting time! Here's a selection of pictures taken since our last post: She insists on holding him:
Trying to dial room service: Looking pretty in her new shirt!
One of many presents from Aunt Tabitha that day:
Getting the baby dressed to go home!
Looking tough...mostly due to his swollen eyes, which continue to be irritated by the goop they put on them shortly after the birth. Poor guy!
Leaving the hospital (finally!):
Cousins meet:
Don't know why the blog decided to rotate this one of Ryan looking out at us through swollen eyes.
Taking an afternoon nap in the comfort of our own home. So relaxed! Is it just my imagination or is there a little Suarez in him?
We love this "snugglesaurus" dinosaur outfit on him! Daddy and Cecilia picked it out.
I love to kiss those smushy lips!
That's all for now, more to follow!

Ryan Jr. Pictures

Ryan Jr. is here!! He had a dramatic entrance into the world as we barely made it to the hospital in time for the birth. To be exact, we were clocked as arriving at the hospital at 4 am, and his birth time was 4:04 am. For a baby who was almost born at the side of the highway, he seems to be pretty laid back. Here are the pictures we have so far. His first picture: First picture with Daddy:
Then with Mommy:
Cecilia and Ryan Jr. meet:
Cecilia immediately embraced him and gave him a sweet kiss!
She can't get enough of him.
She is already a proud big sister:
An eyes-open picture:
A family picture (thanks to my sister-in-law Michelle):
He is so cozy:
Looking cool in his hat:Ryan and Ryan are already very close:
All clean after his bath. Daddy was able to get a smile on camera!
Sleeping so peacefully.
What do you think? Can't wait for you all to meet him in person! Thanks everyone for your prayers and phonecalls! We love you, Ryan, Mary, Cecilia and Ryan Jr.

A post before the New Year!

Here is a quick picture update of Little Miss Isabella! It's sad to say these are the only pictures I took in November and part of December! Depressing to think I didn't even take pictures on Thanksgiving. It has been a challenging month for our family! But we're hanging in there!
Isabella is not wanting to smile for pictures anymore, so you'll see a lot of serious faces or little smirks. Here's a little smirk.
This outfit is too cute on her.
First toy in the toilet. Lovely!
Our little girl when she had the stomach flu. We decided to put one of my shirts on her because she kept vomiting on all her clothes. This seemed to work out better.
Somewhat enjoying the swing! Her fingers were turning white from holding on so tight :)
Trying on new sneakers!
"How do I look?"
Riding her first Merry-Go-Round. She loved turning the wheel.


Doing her morning chores :) she loves to sweep.
And FINALLY a pregnant lady picture. I am 17 weeks here. With Isabella I took a picture at 4, 8, 12, 16 weeks and here I am taking my first picture at 17 weeks! As you can see, Isabella is already jealous of the attention I'm giving Baby Tompkins.
On December 20th we have our ultrasound to find out the baby's gender. We are so excited! We'll have to take a vote soon!
That's all I have! I know, not much :(. I hope everyone is doing well! It's such a busy time of year. We look forward to the Lantigua's visit and the phone call announcing the birth of baby Ryan. We can't wait! So much to look forward to! Love you all!
