Braden's 1st Week: Visitors

Lisa's parents came the Friday before Braden was born and stayed through Sunday of his first week. We were thrilled to have them here for the special occasion, and words can't express how much we appreciated their help!

Tonya, Dan, Jacqueline, and Julia came to the hospital on Tuesday evening.
Julia was very excited to hold her new cousin; it's a little hard to comprehend that he's now outside of Auntie Lisa's tummy!

Aunt Donna and Uncle Dick came to the hospital on Wednesday, and then to our house on Thursday.The quilt Aunt Donna made for Braden - it's fantastic!

Congrats, Troy & Lisa!! He is so cute (of course)!!! Between feedings, and giving him lots of love, we hope you are able to get some zzz's. Take so many pictures that you feel like you are the paparazzi...these days pass in the blink of an eye & even though you think you will always remember him in this moment, it is nice to have ooddles of photos to look back on. Congrats! Love, Brent, Dayla, Marissa, & Kylie

Just checked your blog thinking there must be some "baby pictures" and I was right! Congratulations! He's adorable! Enjoy him to the fullest. They grow too fast!:)

Little Braden is so yummy, I could just eat him! I'm smitten with his baby cheeks. Happy days! If only I lived a couple hours closer...you wouldn't be able to get rid of me!
