First Month with Four Children

It's true what they say that the fourth child is not really that much of an adjustment. We were already outnumbered when we had our third :)

Here are a few pictures taken during our first month together as a family of six.

More Pics From Hospital
My friend Lori was my first visitor at the Hospital and took some great photos for us there and then again a week later at our house of Amanda.

First Visitors

Aunt Tracee and Uncle Aaron were so sweet to squeeze in
a visit after work to visit us in the hospital.

Grandpa meeting newest grandchild for first time.

Uncle Matt and Maggie swung by the house
to check out Amanda.

My nephew, Ben (David's youngest), loving on his cousin. He was
fascinated with Amanda & I happened to snap the photo just as he
was kissing her. His comments "She's soft" and "She's red".

Auntie Dawn (David's wife) soaking
in cuddles.

Uncle Dave loves holding Amanda.

Uncle Josh getting smiles on his first
visit...special!

My good friend from work, Karen, stopped
by the house to visit us. She has two
adorable young boys.

My friend and the children's pastor,
Krystal, was so sweet to bring us
dinner one night and meet Amanda.

 Life at Home

 We all enjoy cuddling and loving on Amanda. I don't mind the feedings in the middle of the night or sitting for hours in a chair holding her sleeping body. I know how quickly this all goes and when I return to work, life will get much more hectic. I am intentionally soaking in every little bit of her and find myself daily praising God for what a miracle babies are and how they change our perspective and priorities in life and thanking Him for this newest blessing in our lives!
