Goodbye and Hello

GOODBYE -

Yesterday was a tough day for me saying goodbye to my wonderful mom and sister. I am so blessed to have such a wonderfully loving and supportive family, even with the distance, that they'd both take a timeout from their own lives to come out here to help us and ensure a smooth transition from a family of 3 to 4. That they did with all their help leaving us with a house of flowers, clean clothes, empty laundry bins, clean dishes, clean floors, half of thank you notes written, kids feeling like a million bucks and even relatively well-rested. We thank you, we love you and sincerely MISS YOU BOTH DEARLY! Thank you, thank you for loving us and please know how much gratitude we feel towards you both.

HELLO -

Hello to real life!!!! Night one without the extra arms and wouldn't you know it Kellan comes down with a fever and is throwing up all over his crib and Makenna is starting to surge a bit with her appetite...lots of temperatures were taken, tylenol given, cuddles adorned and FINALLY a little shut eye for all. This is going to be hilarious!
