Nice to Meet You

We've had lots of friends and family coming over the past few days to meet Samuel. Our very first visitor was Becky, at the hospital, about 2 hours after he was born. Not long after she left, Ryan and Emily stopped by to visit. They also came on Tuesday for a little while too.

They brought Sammy a darling little gift basket with a sleeper, wall sign about angels and baby boys, a super soft and cozy baby blanket that Emily's mom made (we've been getting LOTS of use out of that) and a cute crocheted ball and bib both made by her grandma.

Later that night, Grandpa Butch stopped by after the Twins game to meet his new grandson.

Once home, one of our homeschooling friends stopped over on Thursday morning and brought us a yummy chicken casserole, blueberry cobbler, and some homemade pancakes. It was such a luxury having dinner all made for us that night. We're so appreciative of her thoughtfulness!

On Friday, Joan, Rick and Emma came over to meet Sammy.

The boys really enjoyed their visit. They had a blast doing Olympic ribbon dancing with Joan. And it only looks like Rick hogged Samuel the whole time. Everyone got a turn to hold him.

We had a visit from the home health nurse that afternoon too. Found out Samuel is doing great and already back up to his birth weight at 4 days old. Yay for Mommy Milk!

Grandpa Butch came over too. He spent the night with us and got lots of time to cuddle with Sammy.

Today, Sunday, Great Grandma Millie and Sandy stopped over to visit. They brought us some delicious homemade wild rice soup, sourdough bread, chocolate cake, fruit and cookies for the boys. They also gave Samuel 2 cute outfits and some money to pick out what he wants.
Sandy was a huge help and folded all my laundry for me and they both babysat Sammy while we had our lunch. While they were here, Missy and Tony also stopped by. They both commented on how he was just "perfect". I have to say, we totally agree!
