Back to work and more...

Where do we start. Even as I write this Cami and I are riding the wave of emotions that come with being new parents. AJ is 16 days old now. Cami's Mom who has stayed with us two weeks and has been such a huge help left a few hours ago. It was nice to have her and Ed here this weekend. Ed really enjoyed holding AJ and every chance that was given to him he did. Tim and Niki even got to come and spend a little time with us on Saturday. Well, most of us. I had to work.

This week marked my return to the office and what a week it was. We had a ministry fair at church that was a huge success, but a lot of work had to be done to make that happen. I had to print around 20 banners and take care of a few logistics. The area of ministry that I over see saw a bunch of volunteers sign up and now begins the work of getting all them plugged in and helping to be highly committed participants at Compass Bible Church. Needless to say we are looking forward to a lighter week.

We also have a couple of follow up DR. appointments this week. One with Cami's DR as a follow up to her C-section and the other is with the pediatrician and we will get a little update as to how AJ is feeding and all that. We have noticed that AJ's cheeks are getting chubbier as well as his legs. He has been eating like a champ as well as doing the other things that come along with that.

Mom and I are getting ready for a new week and a new day as we continue to see God's goodness and provision in our lives. We have been blessed with a church family that has been so hopefully in providing meals for us. We look forward to the ways that God will continue to provide in the coming weeks as he blesses us with friends on this journey. In returning to work there have been so many that have congratulated and offered to extend a hand in help in whatever way that they can.

There are more pictures from the last several days on the site. Click on the link to the right to take a look. They should be in the February albums. Enjoy.

I love having new pictures. But then truly makes me miss not being there. Great pics of AJ's smiles. Keep the pics coming as I so look forward to them. Grammy

Sounds like things are going pretty much as they should for first time parents--but remember the huge blessing of a baby born in the OC--you can go out, breath fresh air, look at the palm trees, smell the ocean, and not have to add so many layers you forget whether or not the baby is in the bundle in the first place :o) He's a beautiful baby!
