It's been a busy week!

Whew! Preston's first week home has been busy! When we came home from the hospital last Tuesday, July 1st, Nancy's mom and John's parents were here holding down the fort and helped stock the fridge and clean up the tornado that we left in our mad dash to the hospital. That afternoon, John's sister Mische arrived from Seattle to meet the little man. It was wonderful to have some of Preston's extended family here to welcome him home (and we certainly didn't mind the extra help either). Those first couple of days were hectic and filled with firsts-- first trip to the mall (we were dying to get some boy clothes), first trip to Target, first July 4th get together-- and all in all, it was a great celebration for our new addition. John's grandparents came to visit on Saturday and Nancy's dad and his girlfriend Beth arrived the same day. Friends also came to visit and now we're just waiting for Preston to meet the rest of his extended family, including his Uncle John!

Now we're on our own and enjoying every minute with our little boy. Although it's exhausting, we're having a blast. Below are a couple of videos that show Preston in action...
