Thanks Family!!

Jon and I were lucky enough to have tons of help that week after we brought Brenton home. My Dad, and sister flew in and joined my mom who was already here. It's so great to have family who supports you and takes care of you when you need it. My mom cooked, cleaned, and did tons and tons of laundry. Jon and I were so thankful they were here!!




Brenton is the first grandson on my side. Hopefully he gets some boy cousins to play with soon







We had three out of the five grandkids with us. Bella, Analyn, and Brenton.




Practicing our tummy time. Thanks Amy for the cute mat..he chose to sleep on it instead


Daddy's little guy. Jon has been great since everyone left. He has taken over all the household chores while I adjust to this new schedule. Every morning he takes Brenton out and plays with him so I can catch up on sleep. Thanks Jon!!

He's so adorable Lo! And of course you look great too. I'll be calling you in the next couple of days so I can come visit. I've been sick on and off lately so I didn't want to come out yet. But I'm feeling better!

Yay! You did it!! Bo and I were reading over your past few blogs--we didn't realize that you had the same due date as us and I was 4 days overdue too. Melia came on the 4th though--so close! We are really happy for you guys and know you'll be GREAT parents!

Congratulations Lori! Brenton is adorable. I'm glad to hear things went well. We are so excited for you! I'm sure you hear this tons, but they grow up so fast so enjoy every second with them!!!! You are a cute mom.

He is so cute and so little! I can't believe my baby is already 3 months old. When I look at the pics of your Brenton, I realize that Gavin is really not a new born anymore- they just grow so fast!

I love the time right after the baby comes. All the family help and visits are so great!
