Lots and Lots of new pictures!

After a fairly eventful hospital stay we finally made it home today - I'll post the last day of pictures and our homecoming on the blog tomorrow. Tonight I am posting all of our wonderful visitors at the hospital and lots of pictures of the kids with thier new sister. As for Elizabeth - she is a great addition to our family - she is unfazed by the loud chaos of our family and adored by her siblings. She is nursing great and growing strong - 8 pounds 12 ounces when we left the hospital this morning.

Piggy Toes - I love them!

Sister Ancie loves to hold the babies! Elizabeth came just in time since Annie no longer wants to sit on her lap now that she's a busy one year old.

Uncle Colin came to visit us but this is as close as he got to holding the baby!

I am so happy to be home and out of the hospital - it felt like I was there for a month. I am feeling great - I have more energy than I have had in 2 months and am on cloud nine to be home with my entire family! We are so blessed! The kids were so well cared for by everyone and so many people pitched in to make sure that we had all the bases covered. Auntie Beth spent two of her days here hanging with Annie and the two of them have definitely bonded. Annie couldn't stop smiling at her when Auntie Beth stopped over earlier tonight. KK was awesome and had the house cleaned and decorated by the time we got home today - and that's after the week of watching the kids. That doesn't even cover my parents and Pat and Karla and everyone who brought over meals (my cousin Brigid brought the best looking mac and cheese from Whole Foods - I can't wait for dinner tomorrow). There will not be enough thank you's to go around for everyone but needless to say - we appreciate everything.

One other thing - each of the kids teachers had the classes make cards for us to celebrate the new baby - so sweet! Molly and Peter were SO proud to show everyone their cards from the classes and the kids obviously worked very hard on them.

In one bit of other news - Molly lost her first tooth! The tooth fairly is coming tonight! We'll let you know what she leaves tomorrow!

GNM - ILY!
