We're Home

As soon as we put her in the stroller she sat erect and was ready to go. You could tell she knew we were leaving and she was excited. By the time we got to the car she was smiling and kicking her legs and really perking up. She batted the balloon all the way home. I can't believe how much energy she has.




Adrian made us a welcome home sign. We're glad to be home. But oops, in our haste to get out of there we forgot to stop at the pharmacy for the pain meds. Although she doesn't seem to be in any pain. I expected her to need to stay in bed all weekend but she wanted to sit at the table in the kitchen with Evie and Adrian and build Harry Potter Legos. And she's still at it. Except for the incision that goes from ear to ear you wouldn't know she had surgery less than 48 hours ago. At this rate she might be able to go back to school on Monday.


My girl. She is amazing! Here she is checking out her new look for the first time.

    I'm so glad that it's over and it looks like everything went well??? When will you know if it did what you were hoping it would do?
