The Many Faces of John

This is about all we have done lately; sit and watch the many faces of John. He has more expressions than we can count, and each is wonderful to watch! Here we see him contemplating the meaning of life, pouting, relaxing and having a major yawn.

Welcome John!

John made an early arrival on Monday! Although he was not due for two more weeks, he had different plans. Our first week at home has been wonderful! He is such a sweet baby. He is eating and sleeping well, and constantly making us smile and laugh. He definitely has two proud parents! Here are a few photos of John's first days-enjoy!

We Sold Our House-Again!

I'm not sure how I forgot to post last week that we sold and closed on our house! We're so happy that's done before John arrives! Just wanted to share.

Getting Ready for Something Big

Not much post-worthy has happened at the Pannell household lately. Jason has been busy with two graduate courses in Oxford this month; he will finish those on Friday. Mom and I are daily completing some sort of task around the house to prepare for John's arrival. Just trying to beat the heat and enjoy summer!

I've been feeling great overall. It's wonderful to be home and rest when needed.

Life as we've known it for the past eight years is about to change in a wonderful way in five short weeks (or less.) Stay tuned for more, and of course for news of John's arrival!

Sunday's Shower

This past Sunday I had a wonderful shower at the home of Lisa Collins. A sweet group of my teacher friends helped give the shower. We received so many wonderful gifts-thank you to everyone!
