Coming Home to Mommy & Sissy!!!!!

 

     The past 12 days have been overwhelming and have caused me to thank God for blessing our family more than I can accurately provide a description. We brought home another perfect baby girl, Mommy is healing well from her surgery, everyone passed around a cold & are well now, Salie spent a week in Florida with her grandparents, Mommy & Daddy got some 1:1 time with Elliott, we had countless visitors & calls & gifts & food delivered, Daddy spoiled Mommy & took care of her (even when I broke down twice because I missed Salie) & Elliott & the house, Nana & Granddad helped Mommy adjust to being the mother of a newborn again & kept the house clean & laundry done & dogs fed once Daddy returned to work, and .... the list goes on & on!

 

     As I write this, I'm anxiously awaiting the return of Daddy & Salie with Elliott peacefully snoozing on my chest! I know that these next few weeks will be hard, especially until I'm fully healed & adjusted to having two daughters under the age of 2! Yikes! I'm so incredibly thankful that God led me to John & that He chose us to raise these two perfect gifts! I wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving & if I don't post again for a while, please understand that Salie is back in charge!!!
