Our precious little man is now 4 weeks old! Hard to believe it’s already been that long. This week has been my first week without company or Josh around during the day. Josh is back at school full time doing research, so it is just me and the kids all day. It’s gone really well so far. I just have to make sure I keep low expectations for how much “non-mommy stuff” I’m going to accomplish during the day. I’m also trying to come up with creative projects for Becca to do while I get a few things done. We made a stain glass project while I was working on writing a letter – Becca loved it.

Tuesday, Heather Countryman brought us a meal as well as 5 freezer meals. It was a big blessing. Thursday Lynnelle Brown brought us another delicious meal. Ever since I was little I’ve always looked forward to the time when I would have a baby and people would bring me meals. We missed out with Becca, since she was in the hospital. These dear ladies made a “little girl’s someday” come true. The meals have been a great help as I’ve been juggling Becca and Isaiah.

Becca is now wanting to help with everything. Her desire to help has greatly increased since Little Brother’s birth. I’m continually trying to find ways to incorporate her help into my regular duties. She did a pretty good job cracking eggs yesterday morning (only one egg shell got in the mix). She also really wanted to help give Isaiah a bath. Our first try was yesterday – at one point she almost climbed in the tub with him and the other times I was trying to explain that we couldn’t put water all over his face. She’s a good little helper and a good big sister!
