Homecoming!!

http://keyeswindingroad.shutterfly.com/74

Well.....we are at home! What more is there to say? It was an amazing day. Right there on top is a link to some pictures. We have more we will get to soon, but here are some.

Our first night brought us back to reality quickly. MJ had a mini meltdown almost immediately after arriving home. Luckily Keli came to the rescue and helped calm him down. We had a new cry to learn that we have already mastered. After the circumcision MJ needs his wet diapers changed immediately. That was new to us, but we have already learned it! His first night of sleeping was decent. We got a solid 2 hours before he first woke us up. He then stayed awake for about 2 hours....that was challenging. He then went back to sleep for about 2 more hours. Luckily by then Grandma and Grandpa were up and watched him while Keli and grabbed some more sleep.

Mathew also has a new favorite place....his swing!! My dad and I put it together this morning and Mathew spent nearly all day in it peacefully spleeping! Hopefully that does not mean he will be up all night! My parents are leaving tomorrow, but Keli's have decided to stay through the weekend. Then on Monday.....I am back to work and everyone will be gone, so be thinking of Keli!!

We promise more pictures shortly, but wanted to get something up today.

I know I don't have to tell you this but he is adorable. I mean he is beautiful. Hope you get some more Z's tonight but I would not count on it! It takes them awhile to understand the whole night/day thing. But with everything that you have been through, a few sleep deprived nights is nothing!!! Love ya!

That is one good looking little boy! I love that hair!!! Thank goodness for swings. I wouldn't get anything done without that thing. Those first couple of months make for some tough nights, but it gets better!!! Let me know when you're up for a visit next week. XO, Nancy
