Pictures From The First Two Weeks At Home

Thought you might enjoy some pictures. Sorry it has taken me so long to post any. I am just not very techy and Daniel, who is, is out of town on business. Anyway, enjoy.

Arrival in Grand Rapids, January 13. Daniel snapped the photo as we were heading to baggage claim.

As planned, Cyan, Brina, and Joel all wore green to the airport, and I had dressed Maxim in a green shirt for the trip, wanting them to somehow feel immediately connected when they first met each other.

Way back on Thanksgiving, with lots of relatives helping, this banner was created to welcome Maxim. Here, the kids are getting ready to hang it up for our arrival.

The following Sabbath, Maxim met Grandpa Campau at church. Don't they look happy to be together?

Riding around the house in a laundry basket pushed by siblings, wearing his handsome knee guard "helmet".

Brina remembered her supply of face paints and treated Maxim to "the works". He chose the colors.

The finished look.

Enjoying some time at the computer watching a Sesame Street numbers DVD. He loves to try singing along.

Working on his project in Sabbath school.

Wrestling in the living room with big brother Joel and Papa.

Maxim always looks forward to this when Daniel gets home from work. He loves to be loud about it and shout "One, two, three, pin!"

Having his hand traced by Brina.

Okay, we just got this little guy home, child #4, and look what he wanted to hold for the picture. Hmmm.

Maxim tries to be helpful in many ways. One of his favorites is using the hose on the vacuum, as long as the actual machine is a comfortable distance away.

Being puzzled with Papa and Joel.

Snuggles.

Welcoming Sabbath with sister Cyan and meeting Uncle Timothy and Aunt Shannon.
