We are Home

We are home. It feels good to be home and waiting for things to get back to 'normal'. I love how the hospital will let a post-partum woman leave the hospital so quickly. 'Back in the day' women stayed for a week, Lydia had the baby YESTERDAY. It is good though.

Heidi and Irma came to see the baby yesterday. They spent the night at the Marriott and Anna wanted to spend the night with them. This came as a huge surprise, but we allowed her to. She loved it. It is good to see that as a new child comes along, the older one is ready to move onto bigger milestones.

Irma brought Watson a really great Hummel. It is of a little boy who is a doctor.

The subtlety is amazing with her!


Below is a cute picture of little Watson sleeping away. It is funny how much anticipation comes with a new child, yet there is so much sleeping in the first month or so... babies are much more fun when they start acting more... human.
Here are the three amigos in the car. Three car seats. Wow.
Here are the pictures that dog lovers expect and dog haters despise. The famous meeting of the new baby. Sedgwick could care less.
Sam was hoping it was table scraps.
As we began to settle in for the night, about 9 PM, our phone rang. I chose not to answer it since we were trying to get the kids to sleep. Immediately my cell phone went off. It was Pastor Lanning. I grabbed it and heard, "well, are you up for a short pastoral visit?"
I was honest, "well no, we are all quite exhausted and I am getting the kids to sleep."
Rev. Lanning said, "I am at the front door."
"Okay, hold on."

It was a good visit though. He read Psalm 138 and prayed for all of us. We are so tired... we need it!


Psalm 138
I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.
Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off. Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.
