::visitors & coming home::

Proud dad and most handsome hubby in the world! :)
Meeting Dr. Niu, our pediatrician, for the first time. He had to come examine Josh before he could be circumcised by Dr. Apgar. Can I just say how much we adore Dr. Niu? Seriously, he is so knowledgeable, and kind, and personable, and I could go on... but I won't. We just really really like him :) Funny story... as Dr. Niu was examining his little man parts, Joshua decides he's really comfortable and gives our doctor a nice treat. But the best part was Dr. Niu's sweet reaction to this stream of tar-like poo... "Oh! Meconium! Lots of meconium!" You know I'll be telling the "you-poo-pooed-on-your- dr" story for the rest of his life ;)Later that afternoon all our visitor =s began to come starting with me parents, Josh's Grammi and Grandpap. I LOVE this picture of my mom and Josh! Sweet kisses :)Proud grandparents.
Right when mom & dad were leaving we got the best surprise visit from Aunt Shelaigh and one of my best friends, Benita. I was SO happy to introduce Josh to them!Snuugling with his Aunt Benita :) She couldn't get enough baby lovin'Then Kevin, our caregroup leader, came straight from North Carolina to visit us and pray with us! Jami was still in NC with their kiddos so she had to wait till our meeting on Thursday to gt to see Joshua.Joshua meeting his Uncle Seth and Aunt Janet. Can't wait to meet your Little Meeper this Thanksgiving :)Then we got to see the Watkins!Cuddles with Miss Ana. After I had a chance to rest and feed Josh we had our last visitor of the day - Miss Erin!The next morning was time to pack it up and head home! Look how small he is all strapped into his carseat!We made it safely! Home sweet home :) Special delivery...
Momma & babyDaddy & baby Grandma Schantz & baby boy wearing his special onesie... "what happens at Grandma's stays at Grandma's"

Our first night back from the hospital my family came over to grill out and love on the little man. Here's Josh with his Aunt Brie :) Snuggling up with Aunt Anna... she couldn't put him down! :)

Earlier that day my parents decided to make some special Grandparents T-shirts. My mom's says something like "Wow! I'm a Grandma" And my dad's says "Grandpap". Here's a funny sequence of my dad being my dad ;) First pic "discovering the title" like a kick me sign, second is the "shock & excitement", third "proud acceptance" :)
And this is Josh's Grandpap being silly Grandpap... I love my Dad ;) Our little Winn Family :) The Maka's were on vacation for the first week that Josh was born, so they got to meet him offically just the other day...
Here's Aboo with Joshua - she LOVES babies!Matt & Caleb with baby JoshCaleb & Josh... He can't wait to teach Joshua all the sports when he's big enough :) Looking at all these pictures I'm just amazed at how blessd we are to have so so much loving family and friends in Joshua's life! We are wealthy beyond measure!

Well, its taking me literally days to complete this post as I'm working on it when I nurse Josh early in the morning (hence any grammar/spelling errors :)). I say this cause I have another pictures post of all Joshua that is in the works... good things come to those who wait. I am working as quick as possible to get them up ;) Thanks for your patience...
