it’s been a week ago already that we got to be with aelah on her birthday… ash wednesday, 2.22.12
the first time we got to hold her! wrapped in her african blanket:)

the hospital was in the northwoods decor,

i told mike these days these hospitals are like 5 star hotels!

unlike where we had our kids, yes things have changed over the years! i remember being wheeled into a stark, white, cold, operating room, then to a recovery room, then finally to my room. adrienne had a water birth:)
the day she came home:)

their apartment door:) i bought pink and blue, so i was prepared!

BLESSED! …GOD IS GOOD…LIFE IS GOOD!

the first time in her moby, she loved it, so did A:)

in her own bed

saying our goodbyes

Thanks for these wonderful pictures!!! I cannot even WAIT to hold her next weekend!!!!!
