Friendly Visitors

One of my biggest fears of being in the hospital for four days is that I was going to be bored. I know, it's a silly fear and obviously when the time came Levi didn't let us get bored! But we were still so grateful that so many friends came to help us welcome him into the world. They kept us busy and occupied and well fed! Here is a few pictures of some (but not all) of the people that came and held our little guy in the hospital...

Lauren and Levi

Tara and Levi

David and Levi

Janice and Levi (Janice also works at the hospital and brought us extra desserts from the cafeteria. They were so good!)

Jim, Levi & Dave
Jim was in town for a conference (he's from Fresno) and was able to drive out to see us!

Krista, Me, Dave, Levi & David
(And little Abigail in Krista's belly! We can't wait to meet her too!)

Sheri & Levi
Sheri had her little girl this past Saturday! We can't wait to introduce Levi and Stevie... I know they'll be great friends!

Crista & Levi
Crista, Mike and her little Jackson drove all the way from Modesto on Monday morning. We were so surprised they made the trip on such short notice with a 9 month old! What great friends they are. :) And we can't wait for Levi and Jackson to grow up together just like Crista and I did!

Jonathan & Lacey & Levi

Angela & Levi
Angela lives in Colorado now but she helped throw us a baby shower in the South Bay and happened to be in town on work travel. What great timing that she was able to be here to visit!

Again, that's not all of our friends that came but those are the ones we have pictures of. I know I say this a lot, and it probably sounds cliche at some point, but we LOVE our friends here and feel so blessed by their outpouring of love and support and encouragement as we start the journey into parenthood. We have been totally humbled by this experience and appreciate everything they have done from visiting to bringing dinners to calling to check up on us. We love you guys!!!

Grandpa Steve thinks Levi and his parents are GREAT Americans and they're going to have so much fun, growing with and leading you in a spirit filled way. Levi you have the world at your feet, make the most of every opportunity and always thank our Lord and Savior that you're healthy, soon to be wealthy and wiser with every passing day. We're so very proud of your parents. You see, they've worked hard to prepare a home for you and they've done an amazing job. Grammy and I can't wait to come down this weekend to see you, hug you and get out and about in LA with you. You're an answer to our prayers. God bless you. God willing you're going to have an amazingly abundant life. And always remember; “commit to the Lord whatever you do and your plans will succeed.” – Proverbs 16:3
We love you so very much. Grammy, and Grandpa Steve
