Five Weeks Old :: Coming HOME!!!

We've been telling Ethan and Sophia stories about home for weeks now - what the nursery is like, how much we want them to join us, how we're excited to be a family. Already an explorer, Ethan told Sophia that he'd scout out this "home" place that we'd been talking about and would report back to her. Sophia agreed that this was a good idea.

Ethan came home yesterday and it has been a wonderful 24 hours!!! The first night was admittedly a bit uncoordinated, but Ethan is letting us know that we're getting the hang of this parenting stuff. Night #2 is going more smoothly. :)

After Ethan left with us last night, Sophia started drinking whole bottles. Ethan, Steve and I visited her this morning and when Ethan told her all about home. Sophia decided that going home sounded pretty good and that she would like to join us now. She passed her car seat test tonight, and it looks like she'll be home tomorrow.

Christmas is coming a little early this year - we're thrilled that our little family will be together and feel blessed that everyone is healthy. We are so grateful.
