We're home

We got home yesterday with our new bundle of joy.  Sam was excited to see us.  The first thing he said when we walked in the door was "Can Luke come play trains in my room?".  So we introduced Luke to all of Sam's trains.  Then Sam took Luke to see his new room.  He's already a wonderful big brother.
Our first picture with Luke somewhere around 2:15 in the morning on May 30.  What an ordeal of a labor; but I guess that's why they call it labor.  And the result is a healthy boy, praise the Lord!  
This was our nurse, Sarah.  She was great.  She had a good sense of humor to help with the stressful situation...and she was SO encouraging.
This is when Sam met Luke for the first time.  He was a little tentative.
Maria escorted me out Sunday around lunch.  She was my day nurse on Saturday and Sunday.  Very sweet....
Our first afternoon home and Sam couldn't stop loving on Luke.  We're adjusting to the new member of the family with help from my family.  My mom's taking care of us with meals and helping tons with Sam.  She even took him to gymnastics this morning.  Then Pops swoops in at night after work and wears Sam out until bedtime.  Ron and I have it pretty easy for now; the adjustment will be Friday when everyone's gone and it's just us.

Y'all (notice how I spelled it) look like pros at this two-parent thing. Fun times! Sounds like you will have your hands full this weekend - maybe Adam and I can stop by at some point and help out for a little while =).

The Whitlocks are rejoicing with you. Of course, the girls can't wait to get their hands on Luke! It's precious to see photos of Sam adoring his brother. How wonderful that the Lord gave you a light labor. Congratulations! Let us know when we may see you.

Lots of love!
