Back to the grind....well, sort of!

Levi and I made it back home in Seabrook, TX at about 9pm.  Lynn and Ed (neighbors across the street) had a whole Valentine's Day dinner made up for us!  So sweet!  They had everything decorated in red and white and even brought the fancy plates out for the occasion!  It was quite a homecoming!

Rob pulled midnight duty and fed Levi his midnight feedings.  What a trooper!  He is doing a great job with Levi - and as you can imagine, is just thrilled to pieces to have him home.

Today I took Levi to work with me. He met all of my co-workers, who were so excited to see him. What a warm welcome home! They even had a whole baby shower for us! It was incredible. I was speechless - they gave us so much stuff that it filled our little SUV! 










My boss, Pat, is a huge Texas Longhorns fan, so he was sure to show Levi how to do "Hook Em!" with his little hands already. 


We had a little bit of work to get done, so we plugged in and got to work. Levi worked hard right there with me - he is a pro at taking a nap in the Moby Wrap. It may look a little silly, but it sure does work well. We sat there and worked and enjoyed our little pizza as we worked through lunch.


After seeing these pics of myself, I can see how terribly tired I am!  How awful.  lol.  Oh, well. I won't hide the pics from you for it.  It is what it is. 

Anyway - We just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who is so supportive of this situation.  I reckon people must think we are either off our rockers or incredibly brave - but either way - we are overwhelmed with the outpouring.   Complete strangers have given us things for Levi.  Our neighbor knows someone who knows someone who loaned us a bassinett.  They don't even know us!  Every day there is a box of something on our doorstep.  Today, it was a box of newborn and 0-3 month clothes from Jessica Wise and the second day in a row that we received a gift from Irene & Brian Batty.  Jess - those clothes are exactly what I was going to go look for this weekend.  Levi is just too small for the 0-3 months yet - and so he needed lots more Newborn stuff.  Your care package saved the day! Irene - I can't tell you how much Levi loves those Swaddlers! He just loves to be swaddled!  The book has already come in handy as well.  Great reference material.

We really have experienced the wonders of God in this situation.  Babies really bring the best out in everyone - and that includes us.  We are very excited to have this Chosen DeVol home.
