Lots of things took place in the short Atlanta visit!#1 Baby Jordyn entered the world and is SO cute!
Water broke Sunday noonish, she was born Tues. 4:35am... Long labor! Beautiful baby!!
Was hard to say bye to the new little family! Planes werestarting to fly full for the summer and I got to spend 15 hrs. getting to LA the Monday I took off... Flew into Kauai Tues. by noon, got to fly back the Hawaii leg FIRST class, THANKS Jenna!!
We did many things while I was in Atlanta, inspite of two days laboring, and two days stuck in the hospital afterwards. We went to brunch at Cracker Barrel on Sat. and each of us got our own plates of food and ate the WHOLE thing!! Yummmmy! I also was treated to Olive Garden by Cathy and we managed to get to Panda Express and Arbys and McDonald's at the hospital. We did shopping at Target 3 times, Walmart-pre baby, got my toes painted and shopped at Ross for church skirts. Plus, we had 3 healthy and yummy dinners at home from the "Meal Planner Program" Jax/Brx subscribe to and a crock pot chicken dinner from Crystal on Sunday night! Good eatin' in the south!
Baby Jordyn's first outing in her bucket, other than coming home from the hospital. In front of Cracker Barrel, happy little family! It was hot in Atlanta, thank goodness for 24/7 air conditioning! There were brakes to be fixed on Jax's SUV and laundry done twice at the laundrymat, (they now have w/d in their new "old" house!!) They were just moving in from the previous weekend, family and friends had helped paint that week, so boxes got unloaded to bookshelves and some organizing (which is VERY entertaining for me!) Baby clothes opened and washed for new use.
Squirrels to watch in the backyard, weeds to pull and bushes to trim,
rocking chairs to sit on in the sun while baby got over jaundice. AND...
about 97 episodes of HGTV to watch during labor, after birthing and during moving in and naptime...!
Jax ran a couple errands each day after getting home from the hospital, and she says she's feeling really good now,
just needs to keep napping during the day.
Nursing seems to have taken for them and we're excited for that!!!
Cathy planned a Baby Birthday dinner party for Jordyn on Sat. night with cake and all! This is Summer, Brx's sister with baby Jordyn and the cake. They also had a pizza party in the recovery room the night she was born with Crystal and Ezra, Summer, Clay and Macy and Lilli, Grma/Grpa Snow and Gammy Net, so... this little girl seems to have plenty of excited people who like to party, surrounding her!! Luv you Jordyn!The trip was from Sat. night to Monday morning and not a dull moment!!!
8 days of Atlanta fun! See you guys in Oct, when it is COOLER there!!!

I've gotten way behind, but I loved catching up.
So fun that you could be there in Atlanta. Cute baby, cute name.
Loved seeing Joy's kids!!
The love a parent has for a child is indescribable. That is why I’ve always thought I didn’t understand the scope of Heavenly Father's love until I became a father. Then I began to realize His unlimited capacity to love His children. Good job Jeanette!
It was fun while you were here. You seemed to have quite the adventure back though.
Can't wait to see you in a few months. Jordyn will be a whole different baby then.
Glad you finally made it home. We almost thought we were going to have to harbor you here in Phoenix for 10 days! What a fun/eventful/busy trip! Jacki was lucky to have you there. You are a great help(I know from experience). Love you guys!
