Home Sweet Home

On Thursday, November 17, Josey and I were released from the hospital.  We couldn't wait to bring our Josey home!

1st time in Car Seat!

Josey was greeted at the door by her brother and sisters:

Katy was happy to see Josey before she went off to Ballet/Tap class!

Maddy, who loves the color Yellow, wore Pink just for Josey:

Lily baked a little cake with a "J" on it in her Easy Bake Oven while we were in the hospital:

During the last month of waiting for Josey's arrival, each of the kids picked out a special gift that they wanted to give Josey after she was born.  Parker knew immediately what he wanted Josey to have.

A Unicorn Pillow Pet!

                                      

He said it was because the colors matched her room! So Sweet!
Lily's favorite thing to do is read, so she wanted to get Josey a book so she could start reading to her every day!

 Katybug wanted to get Josey something with her name on it since she has been practicing how to spell "Josey."

 A Piggy Bank!  Now all the kids have their very own!

 Maddy's favorite thing is her blankie, so of course she wanted to get Josey a special blankie of her own:

Love this pic...Maddy is acting so surprised!

We are so happy to have Josey at home with us!

I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High. 
Psalm 7:17

And Parker again wanted to hold his sweet, baby sister:

We are giving all the praise and glory to God for blessing our family with another precious child to love and train up to serve Him!  We are blessed beyond measure!

We love you, Josey Hope, and are so happy you are finally here!

All beautiful you are, my darling; there is no flaw in you.
