relaxing

This morning was filled with more relaxing and enjoying time with family. Madelyn really seems to love her Great Grandma McAfee. What's not to love?

She is so content resting in her arms...

This afternoon Madelyn had some very sweet visitors. I say Madelyn had some visitors because we know where we rank these days! Ha! Katie and Stacy are some dear friends who showed us what the body of Christ looks like when we were in the hospital. They live an hour away and made many trips to see us, bring us food or even just encourage our family. Amazing ladies, amazing friends...

They got to love on Madelyn and took turns holding her this afternoon. Seeing her held by two women who the last time they saw her in person she was in the NICU made me realize even more tonight how much I have to be thankful for. Madelyn has come a long way. These ladies have been there for the long haul. Thank you, friends.

Tonight my sister and I ran some errands while Mom and Grandma watched the little one. It was so good to hang out with Rachel after 6 months of talking through a computer screen. We laughed. A lot. It was refreshing and fun!

Tomorrow is going to be lots of fun as Luke's family joins us for Thanksgiving. Much food will be eaten. Many pictures will be taken. Lots of laughs will be shared. Thanks will be given.

We have much to be thankful for.
