The Homecoming
Not even 48 hours after Debra gave birth to Hannah Lenore, the two of them were cleared to come home.
Colin was excited to have his mother home, but I think his greeting his new sister with a shark in his hand was his way of letting Hannah know who was boss. Hannah was happy to be home to sleep not in a plastic tub, but in her own (well, borrowed—thanks Wendy & Joe!) co-sleeper. Grandma was a hero since she had gifts for everyone when mommy and Hannah got home from the hospital. Hannah spends a lot of time “on” her mother, whether nursing (which is going pretty well, thankfully) or sleeping (or spitting up).
Look at what a big boy Colin is. Wow. And Sweet Hannah. Look at the furrows in her brow. It’s hard work being a newborn, isn’t it?
These pictures help bring me closer. Thank you. I love these people.
