HOME


He's home.  
He is really home. He has no clothes, he plays the piano (didn't do that when he left), he opens doors for his mom (he might have done that before he left?), and he is crazy antsy.  He says sweet prayers, he bear hugs his friends,  and he kisses his mom goodnight.  We feel blessed.  
He's home.

Sixteen Days!!!!!


Sixteen days-- Can you believe it?  Sixteen days and this mom will have her arms around her little Peter Rabbit.  I am so proud of him and amazed at the growth we have seen through his email the past two years.  St. Louis will miss him.  We have missed him.  I know that life will be different when he gets here.  I know that my laundry will more than double, my food bill will more than double, my noise level will more than double..you get the picture, but the laughter will double, the singing will double, the teasing will double, and the hugs...ohhhh!  The hugs will double!  I can't wait...Sixteen Days!

Our Little Oompa Loompa

No, he really isn't this color, it was the lighting in the room - I was trying not to use the flash.  He is the sweetest little baby, and this was our first night to tend him while his parents ran an errand.  We loved it!  His darling great-grandmother made the cute sweater and hat.  Isn't it great?
I promise, every blog will not be about this wonderful child, but while I am recovering from a little surgery, he gets the attention.
