I just want to thank all of our friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors who have been so generous since the birth of our little girl.  We have received flowers, balloons, bears, cards, and lots of good food!  We’ve received so much food that we haven’t had to cook or go out since we’ve been home.  And it’s been a week now!  We’ve been so busy taking care of Ashley that it’s been nice to not have to worry about dinner.  And Mom has been here cleaning the house, taking care of the boys, and helping me with Ashley.  So thank you so much everyone for all of your genersity.  We really really appreciate it!

Along with bringing us gifts and food, of course people come over to see little Ashley, too.  We’ve had a lot of visitors this past week.  Here are some pictures of those that have been lucky enough to hold her.  Van has now implemented a “no hold” policy, as he doesn’t want anyone to hold her anymore.  The H1N1 virus floating around is scary and Van is being very protective of her.  So be forewarned, we love having visitors, but you probably won’t be able to hold her for a while.  Some people may be sick and not know it yet, so we just don’t want germs spreading to her.  We’d rather be safe than sorry.  We don’t mean to offend anyone, and hope that you will understand.
