Welcome Home

Driving home. The dastardly teddy bears are back. Rachel hated these things too. They do keep her head from flopping forward.
Balloons from the Scheaffer's welcomed us home. Thanks Lynn!
Rachel greeting Daddy and Genevieve at the front door. She was so happy to have mommy and daddy back at home.

Flowers from my mom made our room beautiful. My mom (Hope) stayed with us for 5 weeks. She drove through the night after I called her with what turned out to be false labor. Then she waited for Genevieve to arrive. She was a great support during the birth and after we brought the baby home. Rachel enjoyed her Mema and all the songs she learned from her. Thanks mom!
Sleeping at home.

Morning at the Shumate's.

Sarah stayed with us for a month. First she waited for the baby's birth and then took care of Rachel while we were in the Hospital. Thanks Sarah!

Katie stayed with us for 5 weeks. She entertained Rachel and Sarah while she was here. Thanks Katie!

So....life with two baby girls begins. So far it has been wonderful! The house is a little more messy and we are a little more tired, but we are all feeling a lot more joy. Rachel continues to fascinate us as she learns and makes new discoveries. Genevieve has brought us back to the beginning so we get to see the amazing development again.
