Week 1 - We made it!

Officially a week as parents and we survived! Karen's mom helped us out tremendously with her seasoned maternal instincts. She also fed us very well as we completely neglected ourselves this past week. We have had several visitors come by to meet little Miss Olivia. Olivia was gracious enough to be awake for some of these visits. And during some of these visits, she actually managed not to cry too much.

We also had several firsts in the Angeles household. Our first family walk through the neighborhood. Our first trip to a restaurant for lunch. And of course, our first poo out the diapers and up the back. That was sweet. I've never seen shit do that before. It is very exciting here in Alexandria, down the hill and off the circle on Chalfonte Drive.

All kidding aside, Olivia is doing fantastic and we love it! We are definitely exhausted from the adjustment to the eat, sleep, poo routine but we wouldn't have it any other way. Here are some pics from the past week.

Enjoy,
Joel

It is so fun to see Olivia at your house! It makes it so much more real to me! She seems like she is settling at 705 Chalfonte just great. BTW, we just had to move the Diaper Champ outside as Tobin's poops are ferocious! So, enjoy those poops while you have them:)

Poop up the back is the gift that keeps on giving! Usually you never suspect a thing and then you pick up your babes and before you know it you have POO ON YOUR HANDS!

Oh the joy!

Sounds like you guys are having THE best time. It really is and your blog is AWESOME!
