More Changes

The first night home went well. Got more sleep here than I had been getting at the hospital, although JR did not. He was up retrieving JB for me, etc. Was noticing today that both of the other boys had dark, really long eye lashes and little JB does not have any eyelashes or eye brows. He might tend towards the red head characteristics of Momma. His hair is a light brown, but we will see as he grows.
I went through the pictures JR took after the birth and found one that was too cute, from when they were giving him his first bath. According to JR, he loved the bath.

On a totally different note, another big change. After lots of prayer, JR has decided to leave his electrical apprenticeship and go to work for a property management company in the area. He was offered the same job a few months ago but did not feel it was right at the time. We tried waiting out the economy and things just are not picking up as quickly as we had hoped. This job offer was almost equivalent to his other job but guaranteed work. So, he begins on Wednesday. He has given a 2 year commitment so he could always pick up the apprenticeship later down the road when the construction industry stabilizes. We are just thankful that God brought the job offer back around to us and made it very clear through some circumstances that this was right.

Congratulations to Jose for a new, stable job! I hope is a great change for your whole family. In the meantime, I hope he gets a couple more days with ya'll at home. Give the little guy kisses!

Little Joe! May I call him that? I'm guessing not since you don't like people saying Ben or Jake. You made an excellent name choice, that was my dad's name :o) Thanks for all the blog posts!

That picture is too cute- he looks like a little pirate!
I'm sure that the new job will work out well for you guys, the Lord only gives us what we can handle, after all, and He knows what is right.
Congrats all around and call us as soon as you're ready for company!!!!
