So this is in reverse order, but the above photos are phots of the first week Joshua was born. Our dear friend Lisa & Russ took care of Annie well John and I went to the hospital to deliver Joshua. Annie has taken some time to adjust to being the 'big sister' especially since it takes time away from her 'Daddy time.' She is very fascinated by Joshua and tries to help out by 'patting' his head and is still learning to concept of 'being nice' and not slugging Joshua across the face...

It was great to have my mom, Pat, here for several days a/f the C-section to help with Annie and to allow me to completly focus on Joshua. Plus, she got to spend time with her grandchildren who live so far away from her...John's mom, Linda, has been here since my mom left and is here for one more it week. It has truly been a blessing getting so much help from family to make the adjustment of two kids a little easier...the true test comes next week when grandma Linda leaves and I am 'mom' on my own with the 2 little ones...
