Going Home

This is another entry by Daniel, maybe Wendie will be back at this for y'all again soon! It is Wednesday morning and we are getting ready to head to the house with Baby Cade! We should be taking him on his next adventure and housing change sometimes after lunch. The poor guy will be in his 3rd residential domicile is as many days. This next one he will be at for quite a while so I hope he likes it, but how could he not with all the work and love that his mother has put into it? Wendie is up and moving around even better now. I can tell she is still having some pains and aches, but is becoming more and more mobile. Cade is starting to liven up a little too. This morning he just laid on my chest and played with my face. He was probably trying to make me look better in case he gets my genes! We did let the nurses take care of him last night so that Wendie could get a better nights sleep. They told me how sweet and cuddly he was when I got up this morning and a couple of them came by to say bye to him already. They have some really wonderful nurses up here! All in all we are ready and excited to be going home, but we will still need everyone's prayers and help as we embark on this next chapter in our lives. I want to thank you all again for the prayers and encouragement that Wendie and I have received not only over the past few days as parents, but the past 9 months as expecting parents, the past couple of years as newly weds, and our entire lives as children of Christ!

Daniel, it's so sweet to hear your updates on your little man. There's nothing quite like a first time daddy's love. :)

Cade is so precious - a wonderful gift from God. God is so good and gracious with his love for us. Wendie you have touched/blessed our lives in such a wonderful way the past two years. Hugs and love coming your way. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Joseph and Joyce Jordan and Marilyn Colyer.

Cade is absolutely adorable! I thoroughly enjoyed reading his Daniel's update on him. I am amazed at the affirmations you, Daniel, have given your precious wife, Wendie. I know that God has blessed you both with a beautiful bundle of joy and that he has also blessed Cade with two of the most incredible parents ever. While the future will be yours to make, I am convinced both of you will be two of the most loving parents ever. I cannot wait to meet Cade. Thank you for sharing the pictures, the updates, and the text. Much love to the three of you. Sandra

Wendie - So sorry to post comments late, but I have been sick....I have this poem that I want to share with you...hope you and Daniel enjoy it and give that precious baby a kiss from the Jordan house....

Song for a Fifth Child

Mother, oh Mother, come shake out your cloth
empty the dustpan, poison the moth,
hang out the washing and butter the bread,
sew on a button and make up a bed.
Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?
She's up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.

Oh, I've grown shiftless as Little Boy Blue
(lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).
Dishes are waiting and bills are past due
(pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo).
The shopping's not done and there's nothing for stew
and out in the yard there's a hullabaloo
but I'm playing Kanga and this is my Roo.
Look! Aren't her eyes the most wonderful hue?
(lullaby, rockaby, lullaby loo).

The cleaning and scrubbing will wait till tomorrow,
for children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust go to sleep.
I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.

hope today finds the Turner household enjoying the blessings of the day.....I wanted to say that the poem should have said "HIS" eyes are a wonderful hue....but I know you will insert the right gender when you think about this poem....
Love ya - Granny Mom Jordan
