Life the Past 4 Weeks

Here’s what we’ve been up to around here:

Bryn meets Aunt Stacey and cousin Ashlyn

Granny came to help for a month!  She was amazing!

We needed as much help as possible b/c of THIS!

And THIS!

And this!

Shea got so sick of it, he decided to go lay down in the hall outside of our apt.

Bryn with her Papa

Shea with his Mandy.  We’ve been spending as much time with her as possible because we sure are going to miss her.  She’s part of our family, and I think we’re all going to go through withdrawal.  What will we do without our Mandy???

Bob Smart, our pastor in IL, baptized Bryn for us.  We are so thankful for Pastor Bob and the way God has used him in our lives.  God used him to bring us to seminary in St. Louis.

The girl is fattening up!  At 3 weeks old, she weighed in at 8 lbs. 5 oz. (birth weight was 6 lbs. 13 oz.)

Tomorrow, I’m getting on a plane with Bryn and Shea and we are heading to NC for good.  Wilmington will be our new home.  Jared will meet us there on Saturday.  Life has been a whirlwind these past few weeks, but I am thankful for the quiet times I get to sit and feed my baby.  She’s still doing great at night, sleeping for 7-8 hours.  All I can say is that God is gracious to me and I am thankful.
