Enjoying The Depp Family

Last Friday night Addi was invited to a birthday party.
The theme was Pirates of the Carribean. My son-in-law
is so creative and designed a great pirate costume for
Addi.

Notice the 'hook' on Addi's right hand!!! She had a great

time at the party and brought lots of candy home for

herself and Maddox. In this picture you can see in

the background, Cyrus's bassinet, where he sleeps.

This same evening, Jenny got a phone call sharing

that Cyrus's bilirubin level was too high,he was very

jaundiced. So Jenny, Cyrus, Missy and I wentback to

the hospital. Thank goodness Missy knew her

Turkish language and helped with the understanding of

what needed to be done. Jenny was in tears as she had

to hand Cyrus over to the nurse in the nursery. Cyrus had

to have 12 hours of light therapy. Jenny didn't want to

leave him at the hospital overnight, so the two of us stayed

there, resting when we could in the chairs provided in the

hallway. We didn't sleep much. Jenny was allowed to nurse

Cyrus every three hours and was thankful to get to hold him

then. His bilirubin level did come down and we were able to

take him home on Sat. around 11am. Jenny and I were so

tired and happy to be home. We were so grateful that

Cyrus was better too.

Here's Cyrus after we got home from the hospital.

Cyrus sleeps, eats, pees and poops, then the cycle starts

all over again! I was lucky to catch him with his eyes

open in this picture. So far, the eyes are still a dark blue.

Almost one week old! He's such a good baby!

On Sunday we rode the bus to meet a friend, Rob. We then

got into a mini-van taxi to take us to a really big park.

The guys played basketball while Jenny, the children and

I enjoyed the beautiful sunny weather. There were several

playground areas that Addi and Maddox enjoyed.

Look at that stride! Go Addi!

The children strive to ride the bike, doing the exercise in

their own way!

Cyrus enjoyed sleeping while at the park!

And once we were back home...So far, this child is not too

demanding!

Sleeping peacefully

Addi watching a movie...must be a serious part.

Maddox is serious about it too! We had a busy day this

day and we all had a good time.
