Family:)

We cannot thank you enough Dennis and Denise, Mom and Dad, David, Michael and Bailey (and thanks for the sweet gifts and thoughts and prayers, Erik and Becca:) for all of your help with everything this past weekend----for visiting us in the hospital, encouraging us, watching Jonas---(a special thanks to Papa for reading countless books and for taking Jonas sledding:), making meals (thanks Grandma for the delicious cookies you so masterfully whipped up right before your departure:), cleaning, doing laundry (loads and loads), and supporting us during this exciting transition. We are so richly blessed by having family that loves us and rejoices when we rejoice! Here are some sweet pictures of our little lady in pink---:) We loved having you all here!
