Week 1

Adilyn is already 1 week old. Kath and I have joked that when Adilyn isn't eating or sleeping she is... crying!



That was really the first couple days. She is adjusting quite well and is happy and awake much more. Here she is happy, being held by Grandma VW.

Meanwhile Sam has been working on his latest stunts at the local skate park. X games, here we come!



Sam got a chance to sit in the cab of an excavator working near our house. It was raining but Sam didn't care, he was having a great time.

Isn't She Beautiful!

Adilyn loves sleeping on Mommy's chest.

Our good-good friends (the Herzogs) took care of Sam for 3 days while we were in the hospital for the birth of Adilyn. He had an incredibly good time. What a gift... Thank you Herzogies!

This one is for you Letha... never mind the outcome of the game. Kath surprised me (Duane) with the Michigan blanket for Adilyn for game day. I love it!

Sam has been a very loving big brother... so far.

Her first ride in the car seat leaving the hospital to come home was obviously exhausting for Adilyn.

I promise the next post (coming soon) will have pictures and videos of Adilyn with her eyes open. Thanks for sharing in this joy with us!
