Welcome TJ Badanes!

It's been an eventful month in the Badanes household (as well as an eventful year, though our absence from the blog for that period of time might indicate otherwise!).

On August 1st we welcomed our second son, Thomas John Badanes, "TJ" for short. He was born at 3:16 pm weighing in at an impressive 9 pounds 14 ounces and measuring a long 22 1/2 inches. He has a full head of very dark brown hair and a couple of bright blue eyes (at least for now!).

Similar to his big brother, TJ took his time showing up! His original due date was July 23rd. I was induced in the late evening of July 31st and he made his arrival the next afternoon (Rabbit Rabbit!). TJ was greeted right away by his Nana (my mom Vicki), Pops (my dad Larry), "Ciney" (dad's wife Marcine) and his Granne (Dave's mom Anne).  Our sweet nanny Dunia came by that evening to meet him also as did his Aunt Abby.

Anne brought Miller by the next morning to meet his new brother, he was very excited!

We were discharged from the hospital Friday afternoon and enjoyed a fun dinner with family that evening.

We are so blessed by this sweet new addition to our family and look forward to watching him grow!
