WE'RE HOME!!!

After just 6 days in the hospital, we have brought Elias home! It feels so good to be back in our own home.

Julia is awesome with her baby brother. She wants to share everything she owns with him. She wants to show him her room, lay with him, hold him, kiss him, feed him, you name it. She also wants to play with him and it is hard to have to tell her over and over and over that he can't play with her - he's too little. Eventually she will get it. Our friends, Cisco and Stacey, gave Julia a baby doll as a gift and it was the best present EVER. Whenever I do anything for Elias, she does the same thing for her baby. It's very sweet.

I feel like our house and our family are complete now! It's a beautiful thing!
