One Year Ago

One year ago today, Joshua was the first of our children to come home from the hospital. What an exciting and rewarding time it was! We had the bedroom all ready with a great new paint job thanks to Kelly, new cribs, and a nice dresser/changing table thanks to Grandpa David. We had a new van with car seats ready for someone to ride in. And, finally, the time came. We loaded Joshua up, said goodbye to the NICU, and Christine sat in the back with him as we drove home. We really felt like new parents instead of spectators, and it showed. We fiddled with the thermostat that night, dressed his little 4 lb body in a snowsuit double pajamas, and took turns listening/sleeping by the crib. Our little boy was home.
