We have a new nephew! Jason's little sister Jessica had a little boy over conference weekend (I know, sound familiar--he even weighed the same as Jefferson). They named him Isaac Tyson Thornock and he is darn cute.
I have to say that I was really pretty nervous about going to see him. At random times the loss of James will completely blindside me and I struggle to set it aside. As my family knows, I am the sensitive one- meaning I am a crier- not just sad crying, but all emotions crying. It's ridiculous and annoying, but my lot in life. So, I was nervous about how I would handle a newborn little boy who was not ours, but I think I did pretty well. Issac and Landon look a lot alike and will bring a lot of joy to the family. Landon loves him a ton and will be lots of fun when they get a little older.
Sweet little boy

The new and bigger familyJefferson and Landon playing peek-a-boo around the fish tank. There was laughing and squeeling all around. It just makes you laugh. Jefferson is all about scaring people right now. I have to pretend to be scared about a million times a day. He thinks if he shuts his eyes I can't see him and then he opens them and screams BOO!! So fun!
He is a cutie!
ReplyDeleteI hear you on the random crying. The first time I went to church post-miscarriage there were quite a few newborns around and I had to leave the RS room to avoid embarrassing tears.
I think about you often (yeah, I know, I suck because I haven't called you lately) and hope you and the family are doing well.
Much love! (Amber Turner)
Yes. I sensed that it would be difficult. So, glad you took the challenge and went with Jason and Jefferson. It will help a little bit at a time for the healing. Glad Jefferson and Landon got along well.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting these pictures. These are great of their family!
