It's so good to be home! It seemed like just yesterday I was riding the hospital elevator in tears, scared to death to take my first child home. Nine years later, I rode the 3 blocks home in a van loaded with children, again in tears, only this time overwhelmed by God's goodness to us as a family and overjoyed to be together again. We arrived home yesterday at about 5:00. I was welcomed home to a clean house (thanks so much Grandma B) and two beautiful flower arrangments (thanks Bubbs). We then settled in and sat down together to enjoy a wonderful meal (thanks Jill and Grandma Vic). After supper everyone wanted their turn to hold Amirah. To keep things fair for everyone, we resorted to a timer that beeped every 7 minutes indicating their turn was up and they had to pass her to the next set of arms! All the kids had their baths and were in bed by 8:30. Bryan and I spent the rest of the evening doting over our little princess. I went to bed exhusted and glad to be in my own bed. Amirah had a very good first night and we had an even better first day.
