Warning......this is a photo heavy post....at least for me : )
Patrick is one week old and we are enjoying him immensely. He's been a bit jaundiced, but today he is happy cheering on the Tarheels in the ACC tournament championship!
The sign on the front door that my precious children made to welcome me and Patrick home.
The kids were so happy to have us home from the hospital and are loving having Daddy off from work and Mommom in town to do fun things with everyday.
I must admit, they have watched more TV than usual over the past week. Here they are watching yet more "Andy Griffin" and we fit 7 kids on our love seat : )
The timing of Patrick's birth worked out beautifully. Will was home from UNC on spring break and my 2 high schoolers are also on spring break. So, they've all been able to help and get to know Patrick. Here my oldest being silly with his youngest brother.
The 2 proud grandmothers......out with Ron and all the kids for a picnic. The weather has been great!
Mattie climbed his first tree with Dad! He's adjusting alright. He's been very shy towards the baby. He doesn't want much to do with Patrick, but I guess he just needs to warm up to the idea of not being the baby anymore.
