...the blessings keep coming!

our girl is one week old today...


being a mother is even more amazing than i imagined. i love it and i love her...more than i ever thought possible. aaron is in love...he cannot get enough of her and never wants her to cry. she is changing in small ways everyday and we are just crazy about her...we take pictures all day long! her belly button is now free from that gross umbilical cord scab...it fell off today! our next door neighbor ruth (who is in her 90's) brought paige a card, $20 and peaches today...it is nice to know that friendly neighbors still exist and we have them on both sides!

ladies from our church will be bringing us meals every other day for the next two weeks! this little diaper cake gift came with our first meal- along with a schedule of our meals to come...how amazing is that?

my mom and sister stayed for almost a week and were an incredible help to us. they did everything for me...all i had to do was feed paige. aunt fifi helped aaron clean our old apartment (only a sister could do such a yucky chore) and grandma made sure i was well fed, the cupboards were stocked and i had some new plants before she left. it was hard to see them go- but i know they will be back. here are a few pics we took before they left.
