As most of you already know, the newest member of our family made his appearance on Monday, and although we are a little sleep deprived, we couldn’t be happier. It’s amazing to see the difference between a newborn and a two-year old, and also fun to see how Avonlea relates to the new interloper her baby brother. So far, so good.

It’s my turn to hold him…when grandparents are here I have to fight for my turn* and yet how happy I am to have them here. Extra hands are definitely a necessity. Thank you all for prayers and meals and clothes and everything else!

*Until the middle of the night. Then, not so much.
