Home Sweet Home.

Joel, Jeremiah and I loaded up in the car when Joel got off work last Wednesday and headed to Kentucky. We arrived, as usual, right around 5 a.m.  As tired as we remained throughout the week, we had such an amazing time. The point of the trip was to be there as my best friend, since 6th grade, and her husband welcomed their baby girl, Reese, to the world. The OB had told her she wouldn't make it through the weekend and we were really hoping for a St. Patrick's Day baby! But alas, Reese had other plans.  We walked about 30 miles, ate a lot of spicy food, tried the pineapple approach, and a few other things, but still no baby.  Our plans to leave Monday quickly went out the door when we found out Sam would be induced at 6 a.m. Monday morning.  Even though Reese didn't come until 1 p.m. Monday, we had the sweetest weekend, just sitting around with friends, enjoying both of our families, and going to church only to sit in the lobby and catch up with dear friends.

Jeremiah enjoyed his first Thin Mint!

Jeremiah loved Mimi's swing!

And then on Monday, March 21st, sweet baby Reese joined this world at 6lbs 13 oz and 20 in long. She is beautiful. Sam was amazing throughout labor and birth and Reese came at 12:57 p.m. It was so special to be at the hospital waiting for the news!

Jeremiah was very excited to meet his future wife, he even did his new "gasp" sound. It was really funny!

And that is all for now.
