Trip Home

Well we just had our first night at home and all I can say is we are tired!  I do not know the amount of sleep we had but I know the casualties included 3 blankets, a shirt, a onesie, a sleeper, our down comforter, a lap pad and six diapers!!!  It is worth it because he is so amazing.  Right now momma is sleeping and I am learning to type one-handed.

Eli's "take home" outfit (as well as almost everything 
else we tried) was way too big for him, but man was it cute!

Momma ready to bring her boy home!

Our trip home was uneventful, thankfully.  Eli was okay in the car.  He was not a huge fan of stopping, but on the interstate he zonked right out.  When we left the house they had started the process of paving our road, when we returned we were saddened to see our shady tree canopy drive was now very open.. :-(  We were super excited, however, to see that one of the rangers from work had left some fun "It's a Boy" balloons at our door!

Buckle up for safety.

The introduction to Doc went well.  Our friends who were watching him had taken one of Eli's blankets home and let him sleep with the smell.  They haven't interacted much but Doc was very concerned about all the noise from our room overnight!  We have a sweet dog too!

Doc got a so-so smell but then 
he found feet and dug in to investigate.

I think they shipped us giant baby furniture....

Well it is off to sleep.  If you have not met Eli come on by, just don't be insulted if you spend more time with Andrea's mom then with us :-)

It's A Boy!

Man! He is so cute! And Andrea looks great! The outfit Eli is wearing reminds me of the green and white turtle outfit she gave Kayla when she was a baby. So cute!

Eli is absolutely adorable! I don't know how you found the time or the energy to update your blog but I'm glad you did! We want to come meet him soon but we'll wait to let things settle down. Your new family needs some time to adjust to life away from the full service nursing staff. ;) We love you guys and will be praying for you!
