Baby Jeremiah

Joyce and Jeremiah arriving home from the hospital

Another big event that has happened is the arrival of Joyce's baby, Jeremiah. Joyce is still working with us, helping me keep a clean house, prepare food and watch the kids--and has become a part of our family. Joyce and Christopher were married last year and we were excited to hear they were expecting. They both have children from previous marriages, so Jeremiah's arrival makes a total of 4 boys in the house. Wow!

Joyce was due in early June. And on the 3rd I picked her up and she looked uncomfortable. She said she was having some pains, but it didn't feel like labor. I was debating whether I should leave her at home and head off to work, when my decision was made for me. Her water broke all over the kitchen floor! It was quite dramatic--and fun for me, since I miss delivering babies and being involved in that special time of life. Anyways, I brought her to the hospital and 2 hours later, Jeremiah arrived.

Joyce is already back to work, which is great for me since the kids finished school and have a break until late August. She brings Jeremiah with her and Sydney loves to help take care of him and hold him. Welcome to the world (and to our family) Jeremiah!
