Welcome Home!

Awoke to early (5:30 a.m.) sounds of a loud crane outside my window, literally. They were lifting a new AC unit onto the hospital roof. Who knew that lifting things could be so noisy?

Spring flowers and sunshine.

Home!

Lunch!

All the celebrating is tiring.

Don't look too close at the "recycled clothing" the children are wearing. By wearing the same thing day by day they are saving the world on soap and water usage, etc. How thoughtful of them! (Obviously Dad let them dress themselves and didn't look real close at all the stains).

Afternoon naptime.

Think she has had some late nights with Dad at home? (Asleep at 6:30 p.m.)

Little things tucker Dad out!

Saturday, was a special day...because Eva got to come home! Joe set the children to chores (which of course mostly went undone being unsupervised) and came to get us. Our nurse, Julie, took many pictures (most of which were posed and I have not included here). She also snuck us into see CNM Jana Sund who had her baby two days after ours, Ava. (She was born at 38 weeks and was bigger than little Eva). At home, our little Artist made a welcome home sign and saved her pear for me to eat. Oldest sister had made (from scratch) a spaghetti lunch with pineapple mandarin orange smoothies. Grandma and Grandpa brought us in dinner and we relished the quiet and our own bed. Joe smiled at the dinenr table and whispered to me, "I'm so happy that your're home!"
