Some of My Favorite Saturday and Sunday Pictures

Well, the Sunday and Monday recap will have to wait until tomorrow. In the meantime, some of my favorite pictures!

We had so many wonderful visits with friends who took the time to come by and see us, even though they couldn't see Caleb. Thank you guys and girls SO much for coming by! It was so nice to see familiar faces and receive great encouragement for the weekend.

My family also sent us beautiful flowers, and Rick's family brought the most adorable home-made quilt and a few other precious things. Rockwell sent us some gorgeous flowers as well, and we've gotten so many calls and texts. Thank you!!! I really feel like we haven't been able to adequately thank everyone for everything they've done. We haven't even had time to answer phone calls from some of our dearest friends. But things have been so unbelievably busy (food schedule, baby schedule, breast pumping schedule, medicine schedule, hospital procedure schedule ...), and the recovery process from the c-section has been a little more intense so far than I expected. So forgive us for not expressing well, to everyone, in a timely fashion, our appreciation. We really are so thankful!


Tiny boy ... BIG daddy hand!





My parents, the Holland grandparents! They drove all the way from west Texas and didn't get to hold the little one ever! But there will be plenty of baby hugs coming, I'm sure!


Rick's mom, Carman grandma!



This still makes me cry!




And this is another all-time favorite...

Rick,

Your baby is beautiful. Best Wishes to you and your wonderful, growing family. I am so glad we crossed paths, even if it was for such a short time. You'll be missed at learningRx!
