If I’m being honest, I thought Zachary would absolutely rock Jonah’s world. So much in our house revolves around him. He’s high energy and always busy, talkative, the center of the action in our house. So far, almost 2 weeks in, he’s adjusting just fine. He loves Zachary and is obsessed with giving him love and kisses. I was surprised at how well he did holding him, patient, kind and gentle. That hasn’t faded with the newness just yet and I’m so thankful for that. Sometimes it is a little too much love, but that’s a great problem to have! He’s had a great example in Jude, that’s for sure. (Zachary was 2 […]

We busted out of the hospital a day early and brought Zachary home. I couldn’t help but take a heart photo of him on his first day home since it was Valentines Day. The big brothers wanted to join in too.

But the trip was still so worth it through the pain. Camping is our big reset button as a family. No electronics, reconnecting, outside in nature.
