Introducing...baby Isaac!

Our son Isaac Edwin Van Hook was born on May 13th at 11:09pm.  He weighed 7lb 3oz and was 20 inches long.  (He's two weeks old now and has gained more than a pound since birth!)  We love him already!  Here are some photos from the past 2 weeks.

Isaac had to wear a biliblanket for a few days to clear up his jaundice.  He is doing much better now!

Katherine's 2nd birthday

Grandma and Grandpa Van Hook came to visit for the weekend of Kate's 2nd birthday (February 9th, 2014).  She had fun playing with them!  And eating cupcakes, of course.

Kate had fun rolling the ball with Grandpa.
