1 month today!





That's right, little John has been kicking it on the outside for 4 solid weeks now and he is finally settled into his home here in Asheville. It took a 7 hour car trip, with regular breaks for feeding, strecthing and the obligatory baconator, but we arrived home to find that our neighbors had cleaned the place from top to bottom....so we literally walked in and passed out! Yes, we do have the most incredible neighbors on the planet, we know!

Nevertheless, it is amazing how something so small can necessitate such a large amount of "stuff". All of the Grandparents have been awesome in helping us to weed through it all and try and find a home for everything. Again, we really appreciate all of their help, and little John thoroughly enjoyed his time with them!

He is now weighing in at a colossal 4lbs 11 ounces, and the doctor says that everything is looking great! He is basically putting on over 1 ounce per day, so if he keeps gaining at that rate, he'll be a running back for Georgia before too long!

Finally, we wish you all a very Happy New Year! We can't wait to catch up with you all, and introduce you the the new Partridge!

Adam, Vicki and Little John
