Don't count the hours in the day. Make the hours in the day count.

"All children need a laptop. Not a computer, but a human laptop. Moms, Dads, Grannies and Grandpas, Aunts, Uncles - someone to hold them, read to them, teach them. Loved ones who will embrace them and pass on the experience, rituals and knowledge of a hundred previous generations. Loved ones who will pass to the next gneration their expectations of them, their hopes, and their dreams." - General Colin L. Powell

Pictures of Luke

Here are the promised pictures of our little Luke.

This one is right after he was born.



Mommy with Luke after his first bath:


Luke on Friday getting ready to come home:

We are loving having a new little baby... not so much loving the lack of sleep and the adjusting we are dealing with where Andrew is concerned. He's not really sure how to deal with the fact that Luke needs so much attention. We are trying to show him as much attention as we can and having him help out with what he can, but he's decided that he's selectively deaf. :o) I knew we were going to have some challenges. Any advice on what we can do to help Andrew adjust?!
I'm actually feeling pretty good, other than being tired. This recovery should be a lot quicker than with Andrew. It's helped that we really haven't had much company since we got home. Another day or two and maybe a little bit of sleep and I'll feel close to human again.
Thank you to everyone for your well wishes and your thoughts and prayers. They are greatly appreciated.
So, here's to the beginning of a new life together with our two little boys.

Luke is adorable! As far as Andrew and the lack of attention, try to set aside some time everyday for one on one time and let him help with the baby as much as he can. (You're probably already doing this.) Before long you'll all adjust and wonder how you ever managed without a four-person family.
