April 2009- Our Family of Five!

This month we became a family of five a week earlier than was expected. Griffin was born at 1:18am on April 23rd weighing in at 8 pounds and 4 ounces with a length of 20.5 inches. He is our biggest baby yet. Joy is doing well in her recovery as well, much happier having him out rather than in. The month started out with birthday and anniversary celebrations along with the long awaited removal from bedrest for Joy. So we became mobile again. We tried to enjoy every moment before Griffin's birth. And now we are soaking in the memories of his first few days with us. Griffin has been great and we are each adjusting in our own rights to his arrival. Joy has truly been a trooper as she has been the glue that has held us all together as we deal with illness in the eldest three boys (yes, including Brett). But hopefully we are through the worst of it. Thanks to our friends and family who have helped out as they are able, we couldn't have done it without you.
