Dinner (and dessert)

It looks like he's going to have blue eyes like Marcus!

Zach will be three weeks old tomorrow. This is crazy! My month long babymoon is almost over and I have really enjoyed it, but I guess a person has to go back to real life eventually. We have been so taken care of by friends and family. Gifts, visits, homemade bread, treats, carpools, playdates. We had meals brought in for almost 2 weeks! Last night, when the boys saw me making dinner in the kitchen, I think they got a little confused (and disappointed). Eli started asking, "When are the friends going to bring dinner?" and then Marcus said something like, "I guess this means we don't get dessert anymore."

Seriously though, Marcus's Primary teacher told me that they had talked about Heavenly Father and how often He shows His love for us through other people, and when they were talking about some of the ways people show love Marcus said, "My mom's friends bring us dinner." :) I'm happy that he (and Owen and Eli) have noticed the love others have shown us during this time. We have been so cared for by so many. It has been awesome.

And I, too, will miss the desserts, but a snuggle from this little guy will undoubtedly provide the same joy as a plateful of chocolate brownies or a homemade pie (and help me get into my jeans that much quicker).

You are a wonderful friend to many so your friends are just paying you back! Cute snuggly picture. Give Zach and Marcus, Owen, & Eli a big hug & kiss from Grandma, please :) I sound like I am so far away, but even 20 miles can be a long distance with our busy schedules.
