It's good to be home.
This is a sweet time as a family and we are enjoying it.
Even though we've done this before, it seems new....and we are trying to see things from the perspective of Jack and Jo. They seem to love the new addition to our family. They ask about her when she's not in the room, they want to know why she's crying, what she's eating (!) and are fascinated by her.
Kate is sweet but probably a little more spirited than her sister at this age. When she is hungry or wet, she lets us know! We haven't heard such volume from a baby in our house. FYI, Aunt Kat, she doesn't seem to be a spitter either, so I am sorry to disappoint you.
We are thankful to have my mom and dad here, helping to entertain Jack and JoJo, cook, clean, and just be around for support and encouragement.
Here's a few photos from our first full day at home.
Love to all. Come and visit us anytime, just be ready for the hand sanitizer police.

I love to hear that someone else is as much of a nut about hand sanitizer as I am ... some people thought I was kinda crazy when we brought Ellie home ... But she didn't get sick !! She is beautiful ! Great pictures of all the family !

Howdy from Mam O' Four 1/2 !!
For some reason, I can't comment from my home computer---can you say dial-up?
Anyway, fun times here. J&J got in the big bed today while Kate had breakfast. Jack said, "Look at all these kids! How many kids are there, Mom?" It was a bed full.
Ready to meet our little Virginian now!

What a gorgeous addition to an already gorgeous family - congratulations to you all! Glad to hear all went well and she is happy and healthy! I look forward to lots of sibling stories!
Great pictures! I love all her dark hair...she's precious.
