Will is two weeks old today!
Claire got in on the chair pictures this week - brings back lots of memories!
Week Two started out great with a visit from Mommy's friend Lindsay, who drove 3 hours out of her way during a trip to Austin to come meet Will.
It was so, so good to spend some time with her, and Will was perfectly content in her arms the entire time she was here.
On Sunday, Will had his first trip to church and slept through the entire service.
We had a follow-up appointment with the pediatrician on Wednesday and were pleased to learn that he had gained 7 ounces since his last visit on the prior Tuesday, so he was almost back up to his birth weight. We have a scale at home borrowed from the lactation center at the hospital, and he's continued to gain a little every day.
Thanksgiving was at our house this year, and family started arriving on Tuesday. Our first guest was my niece, Kristin, who is a freshman at Texas State. Everyone else arrived on Wednesday - my sister ("Aunt La La") and her husband Robert, her son Jordan and his fiance, Kate, and my brother, Curtis, and my nephew Chris. It was a full house, but we were glad that everyone was able to come our way this year since it is too soon for us to travel.
Claire had a blast "helping" her granddad and Robert make the dressing - I think she put as much toast in her mouth as she did in the pan.
She also got an early Christmas present from Aunt La La and Uncle Robert - a Weeble treehouse. She loves it, and we all already have the music burned in our brains. :)
Our Thanksgiving meal was wonderful with great food and great company. We are so blessed!

He is such a sweet little guy and I love the pictures of him and Claire!!! (Adele has been sick so we've had to keep them apart.)
I love the chair pictures--especially the one with Claire and Will together. Also, Claire's so funny "helping" make the dressing! She looks like she's taking on her new role as "big sister" really well. So glad you all had a wonderful day!
Love,
Aunt Nancy
