More Homecoming Pictures

Kanyon has spent his first night at home and he did good. Yesterday was so fun. I don't know what the deal was, but he was WIDE awake all afternoon. I guess he was just soaking in his house and all the excitement. It was so fun. It feels so weird to be here with him. Earlier today I was thinking about something I needed to get from the store. I thought, "I'll stop by and get that on my way home from the hospital" and then I realized..I DON'T HAVE TO GO THERE ANYMORE!!! Crazy! Ok...enough talk..here are some more pictures.

Resting in his bassinet


This was our welcome home crowd! It was so great. I couldn't believe it when we saw all the people in the driveway! It was just so thoughtful. I was overwhelmed with emotions. They left us with food, lots of cheers and sweet prayers led by some very special friends. I wanted so bad to just pass Kanyon around, but we can't quite do the "visitors" thing yet. A couple of months and then maybe we can. That is the stinky part about this. We're so ready to let our friends see him and hold him, but we'll just have to wait a while longer.

Kanyon's first glimpse of his living room (and a glimpse it was...he opened his eyes a little, then immediately shut them again).

Cute outfit, huh? Notice the feet are horses! :) Here he is on his changing table looking at his cow. This is supposed to help give him something to look at in black and white....good for his eyes, they say.

I couldn't find the picture that actually showed the whole group, this one is kinda hiding some, but here they are. That all meant so much to us.


Special prayers I will remember forever led by our dear, dear friends. It was a powerful time to remember Jayde and rejoice for Kanyon and pray special healing and strength for his body.

Who else but Jill could come up with this stork! It was great! It's even better at night..it lights up!!!

Despite this face, he really was THRILLED to be home!

Thank you so much for being happy with us. We are praying for Kanyon to stay healthy, germ free, and strong. Thank you for all you've done. There are lots of things I have to say, but I'll save them for another post.
