Will's First Portraits

My attempt at taking Will's portraits did not go as planned. When I want him to sleep he is awake, when I want him awake he is asleep. He was not willing to cooperate with me at all. So this is what I have taken so far. Maybe he will do better tomorrow?

Harper Update

We had another appointment with the doctors yesterday and it went well. Harper is doing excellent on the Methotrexate shots and it seems to be helping out a lot. She still has some swelling in her left knee and looks like she is starting to swell in her right ankle. All in all she is doing much better. So the doctors recommended that we add on to her medication with some Enbrel. That would mean we add two more shots a week so she will now be getting three shots a week. I know it seems like a lot and I wish we didn't have to do this but we all feel this is the best way to help her. She is such a strong little girl!!!

Will is now 2 weeks old and growing like a weed! I couldn't have asked for a better baby, he's even better than Harper was and she was a breeze! I will try to take some more pictures and get them posted soon.

We had Will's Baptism today! Thanks to all our family who came out to witness this blessing. He did wonderful, he slept the whole time and didn't even flinch when Father poured the water on his head.

The Shook Family

The gown that Will wore is very special. Not only was Harper Baptised in this gown but so was I and all three of my sisters as well.






Godparents, Aunt Lynette and Uncle Matt! (They are also my Godparents) Thanks!

Will makes the 20th Great Grandchild for my Grandpa!!!!! He's so proud!!!

Will Glenn has arrived!

Will Glenn Shook arrived Tuesday June 30th at 8:21 am. He was 9 pounds 10 ounces and 20 1/2" long. One ounce bigger than Harper! He is doing well and just so sweet! He is such a good baby, only one week old and already sleeping through the night. I wake him up to feed, I know never wake a sleeping baby!!!! The only time he cries (which is not even a cry, it's more like a bird call) is when he is hungry. Harper is in love with him. She calls him Bubba and just loves to give him kisses. She is so sweet. She has done very well with this transition.
I am recovering well now, as always I have a rough time with the anesthesia. I got a spinal headache and had to go back to the hospital that weekend and get a blood patch. I was miserable, but it's over now!
My mom has been here for almost two weeks now and has been the biggest help ever! I have no idea what I would do without her! Cody has gone back to work and has enjoyed coming home to two kiddos now! He is loving every minute of it! He is such a great father! He stays up with him while I go to bed a little early so I can get some sleep. How nice is that!
Well here are some pictures to get started with. I've been kinda bad with the picture posting, been kinda busy around here. HA HA!!!!
