So I am finally posting some more pics. Sorry it took so long! I (Megan) am updating the blog for the first time. Mike is showing me the ropes, and hopefully soon I will know how to make a cool slide show like he made for the first post. We shall see! This post is dedicated to all the wonderful company and help that we have had the first two weeks of Keene's life. We were blessed to have our sister-in-law and two nieces (top pic) here for two months of this summer and they were able to be here to greet Keene into the world. Sadly they had to leave to go back to Japan just one week after he was born. We already miss them! Gigi also came and was able to be here the first week to help me learn a little about being a mom. She was wonderful to have here and to go through this time of life with her. It was special to share the birth of Keene with her, and I know that I sure do value her more now after being a mom myself.
Mike's grandma Josephine also came for a few days to meet Keene and visit with us. I was able to hear her life stories as we sat and looked at Keene together. We were glad to get some 4 generation pictures with her. She is such a wise woman and has been (and still is) such an encouragement to Mike in his walk with the Lord.
Kelly (one of our very favorite people) came to visit us for a weekend as well with her very sweet boyfriend, Frank. Sorry Frank, but I realized we didn't get a picture of you! Bummer! We had a wonderful time talking it up and playing with Keene. It is amazing how a child can entertain you so much! Mike and Frank made us supper, and Kelly got to hear all my wonderful stories and experience some new things with me. LOL!
We also took another picture of him with the tie onesie on so you can see how he has changed. He doesn't seem as big to me in the second pic. He had lost a few ounces but had increased in length. Now he is back up to his birth weight and is eating like a crazy man!
Needless to say, we are having a wonderful time learning to be parents. We are getting the hang of things more and more as the days go on and are learning much about Keene's like and dislikes, cries, etc. What a sweet little man!
Well, I will let that be all for now. I will update again soon. Yes, I said soon!
Love to everyone-
Meg, Mike, and Keene
