peregrin's first visitors

aunt teal--josh's sister, 

happened to be in town, staying with us, when peregrin was born.  

teal, heron and shepherd were the first to meet per.  

our friend jocelyn

watched the kids while i was in labor

our friend andee--

it was just after a pie date with her
(& a sweet time of prayer with josh)
that i started having contractions.
forget long walks, spicy food, and castor oil--apple pie is where it's at!

grandma & grandpa garrels
