A big day

May 27, 2020 was a really big day!  That was the day that Jackson, Brianna and Maverick came home from the hospital and we got to meet our grandson.  

But first there was a lot to do.  Marvin and Jonathan loaded up Marvin's old recliner that morning and delivered it to J&B's house for Brianna to use during night feedings with Maverick, if need be.  Then Marvin, Daddy and I went on our daily walk.  

Later that afternoon Jonathan looked out the window and said, "Look, there is a deer in the yard!"  Sure enough, a young deer was just hanging out in our front yard.  Jonathan reminded us of the little fawn that spent some time underneath one of the evergreens last year.  We think this could be the same deer.  He seems quite content to be up close to the house and us.  Not spooked at all.  We just watched him until he went down by the garden. Then I went outside with the intention to spook him off.  But he just looked at me.  Clearly not spooked!  I finally talked enough that he abled off a bit but only to the other end of the horse barn.  Not a bit worried about us.  Hmmm.... do we have a pet deer now???

Shonda and I each made food (specific dishes requested by Jackson and Brianna) and we all awaited the phone call that the new little family had been discharged from the hospital.  Finally the call came.  And this photo... Maverick's first experience in a car seat in a vehicle.  He was less than impressed.  :)  ha!

Cody had gotten the balloons and decorations set in their yard earlier in the day.  Cute!  

What a feeling to walk in the doors and meet Maverick in person.

This was the photo op with the family basket from Jeremy's side of the family.  So neat!  Every baby born the family has laid in this basket, starting with Jeremy's grandfather and including Jeremy's Mom, Jeremy, Brianna, and now Maverick.  Maverick is the first of the 5th generation of children born the their family to lay in that basket.  

each side of the basket has the names of each baby that has come

I know they were glad to be in their own home.

be still my heart... 3 generations

Cody chose to not go into quarantine with Jeremy and Shonda, so he wasn't with all of us for these two weeks.
