Tractor Pool....

This weekend we had a nice relaxing weekend. I must say though the English language really threw Aiden for a loop this weekend. We played in the "pool" all day Saturday with my niece and nephew and then we napped to get ready for the tractor "pull" Saturday night. While getting dressed, Aiden asked me why he wasn't going to wear his swimming trunks to the "tractor pool". We then spent a good 10 minutes explaining to Aiden "pool" vs. "pull". Despite the quick English lesson it was a great day! As you can tell from my previous post Sunday was just as fun- getting to meet Josie.Aiden loved this "Big Green Tractor" and/or "John Deere" Big Bird TruckAiden loved covering his own ears.He also loved cheering when they did good. He heard the announcer say "good job jake" and the rest of the time when we clapped he yelled "good job jake"

They love each other so much!

Maybe a little too much! :)

Sorry the pics are in reverse order!

Meeting Josie

We finally got to meet this precious baby girl this weekend. Aiden was so in love with her. He talked about how pretty she is all night. He asked Beth and Ashley if they would put her seat in the car so he could take her home. She is one of the prettiest little girls in the world (maybe I'm a little biased)! Love you sweet Josie!

JOSIE'S GOING HOME!!!

Continue to pray for them over the next few days as they get adjusted to life at home.

HOME SWEET HOME

SHE GOES HOME TODAY!!!!

All things Josie

Josie is doing good. Last night they were able to take her off the oxygen and Beth was able to give her 3 bottles yesterday. The doctors informed them she has a few heart conditions. One of which will require surgery in the first year of her life. The other they are watching closely right now to determine if a valve will close correctly. Please continue to pray for Beth and Ashley, Beth has been released and they visit Josie at the scheduled visiting times and as a parent I can imagine that is not easy at all. Pray that this valve will close correctly so she does not require emergency surgery and that she continues to eat well. Beth is doing good and I'm so impressed with how strong she has remained through all this. Josie already has Ashley wrapped around his finger and they are so in love with that sweet baby girl!

Josie Adair made her appearance into this world VERY VERY QUICK this morning at 2:52am. Beth didn't even have time to get an epidural so she came all natural. I'm so happy for Beth and Ashley. Josie is in the NICU and having some test run. The doctor has not come in to talk to Beth at the moment to talk to her about the results of the EKG and ultrasound of her heart. Please pray for sweet Josie and Beth and Ashley. Beth is doing great. I can not wait to hold her and kiss those beautiful red lips.

Memorial Day

We had a great weekend. It was very laid back and nothing much planned at all. Friday I was off and spent the day with Aiden, Saturday we went to the pool, Sunday we shopped and ate, Monday we spent the day at my grandmoms fishing. It was a great family weekend. Too bad I'm not much of a camera junkie these days. I saw my camera at the bottom of my bag the other day and thought oh may I should be taking pictures and then I opted to leave it and so enjoy spending time with my boys.

On another note...
Beth has a scheduled date to be induced on Friday morning. She will go into the hospital on Thursday night to start some medications she will have to have and Friday morning they will induce her. SOOO Friday we should meet little Josie and believe me the camera will come out for this. Please pray for Josie, and also Beth and Ashley as they get prepared this week to become a family of 3.
