Update

We are now slowly settling into our routine of being a family of 3! Today was my first time alone with Collin for more than a few minutes since Son had to go to work today - and it actually went really well. I don't know why, but I was actually really nervous about being alone with him for that long without a back-up, but we napped, ate breakfast, played, and actually got some chores done before Son got home at around 12:30.

We are forever grateful to my mom who was here with us for 3 weeks & to my dad who was here to help us out Collin's first week too. We are so blessed that they were here to help us through the transition of bringing him home - I don't think I would be nearly as sane now if it wasn't for my mom's coaching during the birth, home cooked meals each night, or breastfeeding advice or my dad's great breakfasts every morning, driving me around before I could drive myself again, and babysitting Collin each morning for me so I could get some much needed sleep after Son left for work!!

My mom left on Friday morning & my dad left yesterday afternoon - both were very difficult for me & of course I balled several times both days. I know that Son & I are exactly where God wants for us to be now in Florida, and we are very happy here, but it is still incredibly difficult to be so far away from family.

Here are some more recent pictures...enjoy!

Next up is a visit from Son's parents tomorrow!! I can't wait for them to meet little Collin - and I am also looking forward to the great Vietnamese food that Me (mom in Vietnamese) is going to make for us!
