new baby.
i forgot to mention our newest niece, niamh (NEEV) connemara, born march 20th to katie and jonathan! that makes baby number six for them!
update.
just a little update for my few faithful readers...
jovie celebrated her one month birthday yesterday -- already! it's so hard to believe that she is that old already. she is such a sweet and content baby, very laid back -- much like her father! i keep saying she is sooo highly advanced - yesterday she laughed for the first time, and she's been holding her head up since day one. she follows you with her eyes and looks at you when you say her name. God knew i needed a good baby and i was definitely blessed with one. she's sick right now, and is suffering from some type of skin irritation on her face, but she is still so sweet & lovely. brian is so in love with her and i love watching them together. we are just really enjoying our little one.
it's been a bit difficult for the kids -- mainly josh -- to have jovie in the family now. he's been crying a lot more and having difficulty remembering the rules, but we're working through it. i keep praying that brian's patience will rub off on me when it comes to handling josh's outbursts & lack of wanting to potty train. ergh!
anyway, for the most part we are all happy and well! thanks for all of the cards and prayers everyone's been sending our way!
