*Update of life in the last week*

Things are finally settling down and coming together since our little one has been born. All of our family has gone back home now, which has been hard because it was so nice to have all the love and support around us. I can really never thank my mom enough for all the cooking, cleaning, and staying up w/ me all night w/ Jaden while I learned how to be a new mommy. I just hope that I can be half the mom she has been to me! I would also like to express so much appreciation to my wonderful friend and visiting teacher Lindsey who gave me so many necessary baby things I didn't know I needed and just being there for me, and the girls from my ward who brought yummy dinners THANK YOU!! It just strengthens my testimony more and more each day of how the church is true and how I could never get through this life w/ out it.

Josh is a wonderful husband and an amazing daddy!! It is so fun to watch him bond w/ his little boy and can't wait for him to teach Jaden all he knows! Ok the little one is crying so need to go, but here are some more pics for enjoyment.
