I figured the easiest way to share some of our favorite pictures and stories is to share everything in parts. So this is the first part. This is our first family picture, with us finally a happy little family! We picked C up from Southern Utah on Thursday. When he was handed to us, our hearts were full, and felt such a mix of emotions because although this was one of the happiest days of our life, it was pretty hard to know that there were others with empty arms. They will ALWAYS hold such dear places in our hearts. We had to sign some papers, but were on the road within the hour. Now C is a funny kiddo. He usually DESPISES his car seat, but for the four hour drive, he slept the entire time.
I love this picture of him, all snuggled in and ready to come home. He is such a sweet boy, and although it was a long ride, I do not think that either Mike or I stopped staring (Mike when he could get a glimpse) and I just sat there, looking at the beautiful miracle that is our little boy. I know you guys want some more pictures, but we have had a long couple of days (just wait till you hear the story of our first night home, it was NUTS!) But I need to get our little sleepy head off to bed and try to regain some of the organization that my home once had (but that I am happy to no longer have because I would not trade C for ANYTHING!!!)
*P.S. C seems to do HORRIBLY with formula (it is even a sensitive one), so his pediatrician wants us to try and strictly feed him breast milk. It has made such a difference with his colic, and he is a much happier baby with the good stuff. So thank-you to all the wonderful moms that are giving him the best start possible!!! And can I just say, there is nothing better than a smile from such a cute little guy!!!
