one week old today!



today, Micah is one week old... as you can see, he's very excited--->

such a milestone as Micah's "one week birthday" caused us to reflect on our son's life thus far...

seriously, it has seemed like a long week (good but long). Having Micah around puts things into a good and healthy perspective. Everything is different now... little things that we previously considered of great priority and importance and would stress us out, we think twice about all that now. And in the middle of the nite when Micah wakes up (which means we wake up, too!), sure it can be trying and tiring (and I'm sure it's only just begun, and there will be other challenges that come along with having kids other than having to wake up at 3am)... but what a tremendous joy it is to rush home at the end of each work day to get to 'hang out' with our son.


Anyway, following are some pictures of our time at the hospital that we didn't post yet. It's fun to think of "a week ago at the hospital": all the visits, how time seemed to stand still, spending time with Micah, the food (that's a joke... hospital food is not to be missed), the cot Joe had to sleep on (that's another joke... I would rather sleep on a rock than on those things). It was a really special time, at the hospital, and we'd like to thank everyone who blessed us during that time whether you came to visit or you were praying for us.

I'm sure Micah is thankful for you, too!
