The cast is OFF!!!

So as many of you know, Jonathan had ankle surgery a week and a half after Luke was born. It has definitely been an adjustment! It is his right ankle so Jonathan could not drive for 6 weeks. Let's just say that my arms got a work out putting Luke in the car so much! :)

Today Jonathan got his cast off...YAY!!!!! He even drove us home from the doctor's appointment. He has to wear a lace-up brace and he will go to a session of physical therapy tomorrow and then will start a home program. Thank you for all of your prayers, support and help the past 6 weeks.

Free from work!

Well our prayers have been answered! I am sitting at home right now with my sweet little baby because my work told me I didn't have to finish the 2 weeks! :) Thank you Lord!!!

My mom, "Mams", was a great help these past few days that I had to work. Jonathan is still in his cast from ankle surgery and can't drive himself. I don't think that Mams was miserable though!

I am so looking forward to officially taking on the "stay-at-home-mom" title. Luke is an absolute joy and I enjoy his company! :) Thank you all for your prayers this week!

"Mom" haircut

Well I made the decision to cut off all of my hair last week. I was so tired of putting it up everyday and never fixing it because it took too long! I love it and I think Luke is finally used to it.

I have been able to stay at home with Luke for the past 6 weeks and have really enjoyed it! The second picture shows what a typical day contains for us right now! I just stare at Luke and laugh when he does funny things! Next Monday I will start back to work and will definitely miss seeing him all day! I'll let everyone know how my first day goes next week. Please pray that I will not be too sad during the day while I'm at work! :)

Happy 1st Birthday Ashlyn!

We had our first little outing as a family today...we celebrated Ashlyn's 1st Birthday! Luke slept through most of it, but Mommy and Daddy enjoyed talking to other parents. Mrs. Kandace did an amazing job and we definitely enjoyed ourselves!

One Month Old!

I can not believe Luke is already 1 month! It feels like the time has flown by. At his 1 month appointment he weighed 9 lbs 6 oz and measured 22 inches! He talked to the doctor the whole time and his notes from the appointment said he was a talkative baby! He is definitely like his daddy!

He is starting to smile more, especially when Mommy steals his kisses. :) He picks his head up and will hold it out so he can look at your face. He also loves looking outside.

We have taken a few trips and Luke seems to love being in the car. I think Mommy and Daddy have finally gotten the packing down (everything but the kitchen sink!). We are enjoying our little bundle of joy so much and feel so blessed we were chosen to raise this little miracle!

Welcome to our Mob!

Welcome to the Mitchell Mob's blog! You might be asking yourself..."why the Mitchell Mob?" Well Jonathan had the idea of looking up what groups of animals are called. Mob is the name of groups of emus, kangaroos, ducks, deer and whales. :) Not that any of those animals are our favorites; "mob" is just easier to spell than the Mitchell Pandemonium (parrots)!

We hope that you will enjoy getting to see Luke and our family grow...eventually. :) Stay tuned for more fun pictures and stories of our sweet little family!
