post birth blessing...

evyn as born a bit after midnight on friday, march 27th. since that first night, even when evyn & i were still in the hospital, our friends have been bringing us dinners. we have been blessed with homemade chicken pot pie, salmon & rice, a massive lasagna (it was so huge i actually froze half!!), fettucine alfredo, black bean soup, quite a few loaves of homemade bread, salads, ice cream, even brownies!

at one point we actually had to tell them to take a night off so that we could catch up...

there is a community here in madison county, one that we have been lucky enough to find ourselves immersed in. mainly homeschooling mamas/families, and mainly from the madison county homeschool co-op. never have i/we felt so loved & well looked after, never...

there are even a few women from town (asheville), mamas that i have only met briefly when trading baby clothes, or diapers & things. when they heard of evyn's birth, i received email after email saying that they would love to bring us dinner one night.

we have had calls asking us if we need anything from the store, do we need reading material...offers to take the older boys for play dates...i am amazed. i/we have never had it so good & i feel truly blessed.

lance took this week off as well, so i am defnitely feeling a bit spoiled! :)

these same mamas put together a blessingway for evyn, just weeks before she was born. again, the amount of love that i feel for these amazing mamas is, well...there just aren't words enough to describe.

here are a few photos from the blessingway...

but i would also like to give a shout out as well...
