The First Week Home

Well, we have survived the first week home. Katie has been amazing!!! She hasn' t tried to wack the baby, nor has she shown any jealousy. She just loves to help me. She gets very upset when he's crying because she thinks I'm hurting him (ie Diaper changes). It's definitely been fun to watch her with him. I'm so grateful that Heavenly Father has entrusted us with these two wonderful souls. I learn so much each day and am amazed by the miracle of life.

So, I just had to throw this picture of Katie in to compare to Joseph. We were very surprised to see that they both make this little face. Katie used to make it all the time whenever I had instrumental music on. Joseph does it as well with music, but also when he sees lights.














Hanging out with Dad!!

Todd loves to sit and cuddle with him. He's already planned a Superbowl father son viewing. I'm so happy that he has his little boy. I know they'll be best buds. However, Katie may give Joseph a run for his money when it comes to a fishing and skiing buddy for dad.

I guess that is the good thing about spacing them out. Any time Kate sees a baby she heads straight for them and pokes their eyes and hits their tummy. Hopefully we will be sent a really tuff little man.
I can't wait to meet yours:)

Oh your babies are so cute! I love that sweet little face they both do/did (you know what I mean, lol.) That is so great that Katie is such a responsible big sister. She really is a sweetheart! I can hardly wait to see Joseph in real life. Hope you are doing great!
