coming home

Addison was clearly dressed up for her departure from the hospital!!! Her Mommom in TN (my dad's mom) gave her the dress and shoes and Aunt Linda (Anthony's Aunt on his father's side) gave her the bonnet. The bonnet is special because it is made from a handkerchief and is a keepsake for Addison. When she gets married, we will remove a stitch from the bonnet and it will become a handkerchief again and she can carry it on her wedding day. Everything Addison is wearing has very special meaning and came from very special people in her life! It was so fun to get her all dressed up in these beautiful things that have been waiting for her!!! :)

Our "new" family of FIVE!





and we're off...

Addison with her Papaw - my dad

Addison with her Mamaw - my mom

I don't know what these two we're laughing about but it was clearly VERY funny! :)



When we arrived home from the hospital, we had a BEAUTIFUL fruit bouquet waiting for us! David and Katy sent it and it was very well received. When Jackson was born, Katy brought over a Pineapple that we devoured quite quickly and Anthony was reminiscing about it. Low and behold, when we got home more pineapple AND strawberries too! yum yum :) Thanks David and Katy!!! :)

It was a wonderful day bringing Addison home. The boys were so excited that we were finally at home with them. Mimi & Papa took excellent care of them and brought them up to see us at the hospital twice a day. :) My mom and dad drove up from VA for the day to meet their new granddaughter. I wish they could have stayed longer but they had to get back for work. My mom will be back Father's Day and stay for a few days with us. :) It's good to be home and I can't explain it but our family feels so complete now that Addison is here. Already, life would not be the same any other way. God has blessed us with the most perfect little blessings - Harrison, Jackson, and now Addison. We feel so incredibly blessed!!!
