Saying Goodbye to Grandma & Grandpa D
Well as Grandma would say, I had an ugly cry this afternoon. I am so grateful for James's parents - I realize that not everyone adores or admires their in-laws - and so I realize how blessed I am to be part of their family.
We are truly indebted to them for helping out with the kids - and as usual the kids thrived with their attention and love. It's not an easy task - but they did it with love!
Still feeling sad...but very grateful for love and family. There is nothing better for James's soul than spending time with his parents - especially now that we are parents ourselves.

My Little Girl...
Well, much to my surprise, I'll have to change the title of our blog to include another girl...we couldn't be happier.
Welcome, MJ. We're home and settling in - VERY grateful to have Tom & Barbara here to help with the house and the boys - I don't know what we would have done without them. As faithful readers will probably expect, we arrived home from the hospital to pink lantern filled trees, a windmill flower garden, and welcome home signs galore, courtesy of Bob and Paula. It was fun to see the "It's a GIRL" sign - this house desperately needed another dose of femininity and we didn't even know it until we saw MJ for the first time. She is perfect.
Once again, I'm at a loss for words. From weeks of so much sadness, we emerge with this little girl, this bright little ray of light and life, and we are filled with a new kind of joy. There is nothing like the gift of life and we have never been more mindful or grateful for it as we are today. We are so blessed by all the love that has filled our lives.
