It feels so good to be home. Thanks for all your encouraging comments and emails.

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!!! It's so amazing to see the three of you as a family and you're right, Mosey is WAY cuter in person, if that's even possible! So glad you're home and that this journey is over and becoming something even more amazing!

Seeing these pictures made me smile ear to ear. Such a wonderful thing to have finally seen you and your family together forever!

Good luck on the laundry, if you find like you are enjoying the copius amounts, feel free to come do ours. But only if you bring your beautiful boy with you!
