Shelby and Kim were released from the hospital yesterday at about 5 pm. Grandma Leyendecker will be staying with us most of this week and was an absolute lifesaver last night. She took the first watch and obviously the most fun-filled. I was informed about two o clock this morning that Shelby had some pretty nasty gas which in turn led to some irritability to say it nicely. She did finally get past all the gas and settled down. My shift was rather uneventful, but it was good just to hold my little girl. She is such a doll. We are truly blessed. I did get her to sleep in her crib for a couple of hours between feedings with the help of her trusty Aggie pacifier. I will probably be going back to work on Wednesday and am not looking forward to leaving her at home. Shelby did have a little jandice on her face so we sunbathed her today as you'll see in the pictures; when she was outside she was just as calm as can be. Kim said that was the Johnson blood coming out in her; we do love to lay out. Anyway here are some more pictures and I am the first one to brave the video in the circle I know. If it works there will be more to come; especially when she gets her personality.

Thanks for all the support we've been getting; it's been great. Keep us in your prayers.

P.S. I feel like I'm back in the Corps; five hours of sleep and I feel lucky to have gotten that.
