Blessed!

We are blessed in so many ways!  I am so thankful for all the people God has brought into our lives that are such a huge blessing to us.  Our parents have been so wonderful and supportive and we appreciate them so much!  My parents watched the girls the first night we were in the hospital and have been willing to help us do anything.  My mom brought us a delicious dinner last night!  Thank you for all you've done and continue to do Mom and Dad (Nana and Papa)!  Hubby's parents traveled down the morning of our Baby Boy's birth and have stayed with the girls at home while we were in the hospital.  They have been such a big help as well.  We appreciate all you do for us Mom and Dad (Grandma and Grandpa)! 

Also, several in our church have been a blessing to us.  We got a framed picture of our boy with his birth stats, flowers, a cookie cake, and cookies while in the hospital.  Someone bought us a nice steak dinner from a nearby restaurant and had it delivered to our hospital room before we were discharged Wednesday night.  Hubby called it our "celebration dinner". It was the first time we were able to enjoy being at the hospital without all the stress we had previously had. Our neighbors have been a blessing as well.  Yesterday one neighbor brought us fresh baked bread, some candy for the girls, and a gift for Baby Boy.  Another neighbor brought us baked spaghetti and garlic bread.  I'm just so thankful for the people God has brought into our lives and how caring and loving they are!

We are headed to see the pediatrician for Baby Boy's first visit in just a little while.  He eats like a champ, so I have no worries that he is doing just fine with his weight.

Our first visitors the morning of Baby Boy's birth.  They sure look like proud Grandparents, don't they?! :-)

  4. Hi
    I love my Grandchildren dearly, but this little guy has to carry the Smith line should the Lord tarry.
    Grandpa.
