Ladybug One is in the house! She rolled in at about 8:00 on Tuesday night. It was still 81 degrees out, down from the record high of almost 94 at 5:00PM. Ouch. no wonder she looks grumpy!

She's settling in fine; loves her crib, loves her room, loves her brother and sister (and they were so excited that they flew around the house like barn swallows.)

She needs to eat a bit more, but she's sleeping a lot right now. She's going to see her pediatrician, Dr. Bolduc, at 2:30. Ah, the life of a star.

It sure is good to have our girls home. The family is finally completed. Now we can rest (ha ha - we went to bed at 11, got up at midnight for a feeding, alarm went off at two - that's when we thought we would have to feed her - alarm went off again at 4 for another feeding, finished that bottle at about five - she's a slow eater - and then I just said to heck with it and stayed up.)

Thank you God for family, friends, babies and coffee.

"And milk!" adds baby Nan.

    She's so beautiful! Of course, you guys already knew that. :)
    We're so happy to hear that she's back and adjusting well to life outside of the hospital. It must be pretty warm for a baby, but then again, most people probably have their air conditioners running this time of year (not us, unfortunately!)
    Good luck surviving these next few days (weeks? months?) of heat. I hear it's supposed to get up to 102--then again, it was already at 107 at 4 PM today. Yikes.

    Yea, your ALL home, what a blessing. Joe, of course, we missed you at TM, but wasn't really expecting to see you either. So very glad to see Nanette doing well.

    Can't wait til you can cart her around and show her off.

    Love,
    Brenda & Dean
