Ah, it is good to be home. We missed our sweet 3 year old boy and all of his antics...and all the comforts that home provides. William is such a laid back, sleepy little baby. The difference between him and Matt is like night and day. At least in this stage of life. He has definitely made it easy on us. How has Matt reacted to all this interruption in his life? He basically keeps his distance from the baby. He doesn't show much interest except during those small windows of time that William opens his eyes. He'll bring him his blankets and pacifiers, but then quickly go about his own business. Like...sprawling out on the Texas map looking at different road signs.
Since we've been home we've had some visitors come by...here's Ava holding William. She kept saying, "He's so cute!"
My grandfather and his new bride came by for a visit, too. 2 great grandsons...pretty neat.
Bryan & Sarah and the girls came by, too, and Matt was quite thrilled to have his cousins around to play with.
Then hailing all the way from Dallas, our friends Chris, Alison and Joshua came by yesterday at lunch time. Again, Matt was super excited to get to run around like a wild man with Josh. It was sooo good to see them. Thanks for coming, guys!
William got his first bath the other day. I was expecting him to pitch a fit and turn all angry and red like Matt did, but he reacted quite the opposite. He squawked for a few seconds once he hit the warm water, but he quickly calmed down and seemed to enjoy the experience. And we discovered that our new master sink is the perfect baby bathing tub. Hooray for a clean baby!

Hey Trish and Stephen.......What a beautiful little son. Both of them in fact. We are so glad that William has arrived safely and all is well. I pray William and Matthew will be a blessing to you all the days of your lives. God is sooooooooooo good to entrust us with precious babies. Our love, John and Jerre
