In Memory of Missy

Words cannot describe the loss our family has experienced over the last week. My beautiful sister Missy, at the young age of 25, tragically died in a car accident on Wednesday, November 24th. For those of you who knew my baby sister, you'll always remember her smile and her contagious laugh. She had a way of making you forget about your troubles. Her heart was filled with love for her family and friends, especially for her daughters Miranda and Maria. Our hearts will forever be abundant with love and memories of the girl I grew up with, laughed with, and cried with. We thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers.

WANTED: A LITTLE SLEEP!!!

Have you seen this person? He's a bit under 9lbs, caucasian male, considered armed with spit-up and extremely dangerous. Approach with caution. Wanted on charges of sleep theft and diaper destruction. Do not attempt to apprehend this suspect, as he has a less than cherubic disposition!! Certainly we expected our young son to be a little cranky. If you truly know his parents, you understood the virtual certainty that he would be a bit on the moody side. HOWEVER, we didn't expect this! While he has calmed himself significantly in the last 24 hours, he has been an extremely fussy little melon-head. He still hasn't adapted to much of a sleeping schedule, which doesn't at all help our mood at all. He does OK at times, but for the most part he's up at least every other hour during the night.

His birth weight was 8lbs 4 oz, but it went down to 7lbs 10oz by the time we left the hospital. This, we're told, is perfectly normal. It stayed the same for the first week or so. This past Monday he got his second check-up, and weighed in at a whopping 8lbs 9oz! 11oz in one week! We're going to buy him some little shirts that show off his new bachelor belly. Health-wise, everything seems to be fine with him(knock on wood). We should have some more pics in the next few days.

Logan has arrived!

At 9:34AM on October 29th, Logan James Zitt was born at The Christ Hospital in Cincinnati. At 8lbs and 4oz, he was certainly a sight for eager eyes. The delivery was performed wonderfully by Dr. Denise Sutler, along with numerous other nurses and specialists. If you would like to see the first official picture of our beautiful son, click here

He's doing fine right now, at just over a week old. He's a little fussy, but it's been a big adjustment for him. He is taking to his new home very well. The cat is already very protective of our little man, but the dog is extremely jealous. Tina is healing up well, and back on her feet quicker than some expected. She still has some swelling in her legs and feet, but we're working on that.

We feel so lucky to have a healthy child in our arms every day, and thankful that the procedure went so flawlessly. There will be more pictures of Logan as we get them added to the site. Stay tuned!
