In all the hullabaloo surrounding Joseph's heart cath I have been remiss in posting these fun pics. Sandra came to help out/let me sleep/keep me sane/and mostly mug on Joseph. Eli and Mckenna came to play/play/play/be cute/and mug on Joseph. It was so nice to be able to leave the little ones in Sandra's care while I ran Merritt or Grace to school. It took me awhile to get the whole "get-four-kids-in-the-car-and-wrangle-car seats-and-seat belts" thing down. It was especially nice to have her there when I came home from the pediatrician with Joseph's diagnosis of pulmonary valve stenosis in hand. I sat down on the couch, called Chad, and felt grateful that she was downstairs playing with the kids and vacuuming (she's amazing), because it freed me up to talk to Chad without interruption. Afterward I sat with her and got just what I needed...sympathy and a big hug. Thanks Sandra!
We had one good weather day and then it was snow, snow, snow! Good thing Sandra packed her kids' snow clothes!
Mckenna shows off her Tinkerbell nose. She and Grace had a ball playing with the princess dolls together.
Mom and Dad brought lunch one day and we hung out for the afternoon together. Joseph was never out of anyone's arms that day!
Grant and Eli played with cars while Mckenna tried to find a way to insert a princess into their race. Meanwhile Dad is in the background trying to figure out how Transformers work.
Cheesers.
Baby Joseph gets loved.
This was supposed to be a picture of Sandra's kids with Grandma and Poppa...looks like she inherited Grant!
Mckenna and Eli were so good with Joseph!
Come back soon!

How so very lucky you are to have all your family so close! How wonderful that Sandra could come and stay with you, what a dear heart!
I would be there now if I could! I miss you all so much and loved being there with you, but next time I'm bringing Keith. :) I hope you know how wonderful it was for me to be with you too! My kids do nothing but talk about coming to see your family and I talk about needing to have my Joanna time.
