Homecoming...the prince has arrived!


Sarah and Calvin were discharged yesterday (yippee!) And we broke in the carseat and base unit in the Pathfinder. It was such a weird feeling knowing that my beloved son was in the car. I was so alert watching my speed and other cars...trying to protect my son at all costs. It really makes me think about Rom 8:32...

On another note, it's amazing how suddenly all of these baby stores and clothing shops pop out to me. I took Dave to the Aurora Premium Outlets to visit the Nike store, and I was stunned at the number of child stores that I had never seen before - Carter's, Gymboree, etc. It's like when you buy a new car, then suddenly everyone's driving your car...go figure.

I went back to work today briefly, and all I could do was look at Calvin's picture in my phone and feel drowsily loopy. I guess I need to get used to this feeling of being dizzy all the time! Nala's had this dazed look on her face trying to figure out what she did wrong to keep her from certain rooms now. She's been amazing though!!!

Well, here are some more pics to enjoy (at gomo's request)!

Calvin didn't like his carseat at first.

But then he chilled out.


Calvin's 'gangsta' face.


The Cote family came to visit.


So did Aunt Jane!


And the Sampsons...


And the Nickerson's!!!

Thanks to all of you for the love and support you guys have shown. It means so much! Keep praying for mom's recovery, Calvin's sleeping habits, and ultimately Calvin's salvation. We love you guys!

Hey Sarah and Mitchel,
Welcome home to Calvin! Sarah, you remember to rest. Visitors are nice but give yourself time to heal and enjoy some quite time with your little one. I'll enjoy holding him sometime down the road. He is sooooo cute!
Mitchel, don't worry about the woozy feeling when at work someday he'll be two years old and you'll be not so woozy and then think, he'll be a TEENAGER! Just kidding, enjoy the woozy.
Love in Christ,
Chris
