Nana and Papa

Billy's parents arrived Friday the 13th and we were so blessed to have the additional support. They cleaned our house, made us dinner and Nana did our laundry. I can completely understand why families stayed together, it was for the extra advice, help, encouragement and companionship. I realize how much we lose in our independent society of being all spread out with bringing another generation in to our family. Their company and help was especially helpful in transitioning the first couple of days when Billy went back to work.

Here they are meeting Matthew:

Saturday, Aunt, Uncle and many cousins came over to visit with Matthew:

Kyle sang Matthew the sweetest lullaby...


We made it to church for the first time as a family thanks to help :-))
