One week

Our precious Aden has been with us one week today, and the transition to a family of four has been wonderfully challenging. Aden is a good baby. If nothing else, this kid knows how to eat and poop, and do a lot of it. He has his days and nights a bit confused at the moment, but we'll deal with that. Trey had the same problem. At least we halfway expected it this time around.

We came home from the hospital on Thursday, and my recovery is going pretty well. Not nearly as incapacitated as I thought I'd be. More tired than anything.

Nene came to help us out from Thursday through the weekend (thank you Nene!!). She was invaluable in letting us get some rest, running her legs off after Trey, and fixing dinner. We love you Nene!


Meemaw Margaret also came by for a visit, and had Aden under her spell in no time.


Giga is here with us now, spoiling me and both her grandsons with lots of love and good food!

Aden had his first home bath over the weekend and absolutely loved having his hair washed. Trey enjoyed watching the bath and talked Aden through the process of being washed. It was great.



Trey is doing pretty well as a big brother. Sometimes he's a little rough, but overall is interested in the things Aden does. "What's Aden doing??" Trey carries his potty stool around the house so he can watch when we change Aden's diaper and such.

Aden is positively captivated by Trey. Whenever he hears his voice, he'll open his eyes and turn his head to look for him. It's very sweet. Here's hoping they'll be the best of friends even if their personalities are as different as their looks. And yes, we have established that Trey is a little Brandon and Aden is a little Ashley. Lord help him.


We are blessed and overjoyed with this little one, and slightly overwhelmed with the prospect of taking care of two kids. But what a gift from the Lord to be entrusted with another little one, to watch the miracle of his life unfolding. We love you Aden Levi.
