Ethan Reese Culbertson entered this world on February 23 at 7:57 am… which is big brother Noah’s (Big Roo) third birthday! At 38 weeks along, he weighed in at 6 lbs. 9 oz and was 20 inches long.
We’re home now and resting wonderfully (well, at nights are another story!). I’ll post his birth story in a few days but for now I’m savoring every little moment I can with this cutie.

I’m Melissa. Most people call me Mel. I’m a mama to two boys and a lover of all things outdoors. I'm a marketer who hearts good grammar. I also love Twitter, my Mac and all things techy.
This is Daddy Roo. We met in 1995, got married in 2000 and had Big Roo seven years later. Yeah, we like to take our time. Daddy Roo plays soccer, loves cooking more than I do and takes sarcasm to a level few people can. He’s awesome.
Big Roo is our 4-year-old ball of energy. He’s all boy except for the pink bear he carries around. I embrace the contradiction. He’s already a fan of hiking and camping.
The youngest of the Roo family. He loves eating kiwis, chasing his brother and swinging in our backyard. He also loves attacking his brother with a squeal of laughter.

Just found your lovely blog and have been reading through some articles. Discovered that you have two boys born on the same day – I have two girls born on the same day!
They are now 23 and 25 and so have had many shared birthdays all of which have been an absolute joy…. apart from 21st and 23rd birthdays which was strangely the day that my beloved mother died. I love date coincidences and mine will always mean that the 31st January will be twice as good as it is bad! (working on the gaining people/losing people stats!)
I am sure that your boys will love having a shared birthday… and it makes life so much easier and much more fun for us parents!
