Showered With Love

Thanks to Aunt Kelly and cousin Lizzy, Justin, Vaan, and I were showered with great company and gifts last Sunday.  We are so blessed to have such great family.  It was extra special that we got to take our sweet baby to our baby shower!  Justin and I found it to be a great way to introduce Vaan to family and friends that haven't met him yet, and who doesn't like to hold a baby?!  While I did have to hold back from letting my inner obsessive and worry-filled anxiety come out as he was passed from person to person, we all had a great time!  Thank you so much Kelly and Lizzy for taking the time to make this shower so special and make us feel so loved!

A Month Later

One month has already come and gone since the birth of Vaan.  It is crazy how time flies.  The days seem to blur together because we spend countless hours playing, laughing, and just staring at the most amazing gift life has to give.  Vaan is by far the best thing that has come to Justin and I as a married couple!

Justin has recently returned to work and we have had to adjust back to the daily grind.  As much as Justin loves his job, it was still hard for him (and me!) to go.  Now that Justin has been back for a little over a week, we are all becoming accustom to our new "daily life".  While we don't have much of a routine set yet, our activities throughout the day are pretty regular!  They go a little something like this: wake up, eat, sleep, play, eat, sleep play, eat sleep play, eat, sleep play, bath, eat, bed!  In order to make this more accurate, we would need to add countless hours on the changing table to our day!  Regardless, we love our new life! 

We feel so blessed to be such a happy and healthy family.  While it seems impossible somedays to even open my computer, I hope to be able to post more frequently about our love, life, and new advetnures as a family. 

Here are a few pictures of our precious Vaan in the first month of his life.  It was hard to choose out of the 500 + pictures Justin and I have of him, but I wanted to give just a glimpse of the wonderful family we have and the love there is for Vaan. 
Mom & Dad LOVE you!
