The Carltons arrive

Yesterday we enjoyed the arrival of Linda and Ted, Paige's mother and step-father. Linda knocked on the door, said hello to Dexter as came in the house and rushed into the living room to peer and coo at Reid. Paige strolled in from the kitchen and asked, "I don't even get a 'hello?'"
Linda replied, "Of course not, I'm here to see Reid."
We all laughed, and I grabbed the camera.

Yeah, I'm sometimes having trouble figuring out how to arrange the pictures here on the blog. Oh well, between lack of sleep and other priorities I'm going stop worrying about it.

Tracy, our postpartum dula, came over and taught us how to use cloth diapers, how to wrap the baby up and place her on our chest and tons of other things.












We also had a nice surprise when a fruit bouquet arrived from the folks that I work with at EA.













With more hands here in the house things have felt so much more relaxed. Plus, we have figured out how to swaddle up Reid and put her down to sleep for an hour or two at a time. So, we are sleeping a little more and the general level of entropy has decreased.
