Back Where We Belong

Ahhh...home! I have never been so excited to walk in my door. After eleven days in Palo Alto, we finally made it home, albeit a little delayed for Joe since they oversold the flight and he had to go through San Fran and Phoenix to get home--oh well, HELLO free voucher!

Anyway, the day after we arrived home, Joe's Mom and her boyfriend drove out to spend Christmas with us. We are looking forward to a lazy week of sleeping, eating, playing and gift-opening. Just need a little snow here so it really feels like a Colorado Christmas.

E is doing great! The first couple of days were rough--he was very clingy, very irritable, and he couldn't sleep. We were up 5-6 times with him each night. Sometimes he woke up crying, as if he had a nightmare. Sometimes he woke up searching for us, like he didn't know where he was. And sometimes he woke up famished--nothing like a pop-tart at 3 o'clock in the morning :) He's getting much better though. Last night he only woke up once or twice, and that I can live with.

He seems genuinely thrilled to be home with his toys, his cats, his bed and his freedom. Thank you again for following us through this difficult, yet very successful, journey. Much love to you and your families this Christmas season! XOXOXO

Emmett, Isure am glad you're home and enjoying the toys and cats. Iam so homesick to see you already. I'm glad you are feeling better and enjoying your company. Love you so much Grandma Cookie
