We spotted the van and we were all waving from inside and out! Yeay!
The kids basically JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR! So fun!
HUGS and SQUEEZES!
and...for MOMMY TOO! Andrew got up on my lap and I was able to squeeze him super tight too! Emily's a little bit taller and she got me good! Andrew did grab my neck!!!! OUCH!
The 5 of us!
Kissing those cheeks that I miss so much! About 500 times!
Daddy missed his "Tater Tot!"
Playing "Duck, Duck, Goose!"
We went right away to our family therapy appointment!
Helping Mommy make instant pudding in the therapy kitchen!
I practiced changing Levi's diaper at about the same height of our changing table at home. He started to roll over and show off! I think he's going to roll over for the 1st time from back to tummy before he leaves tomorrow just so Mommy doesn't miss his milestone!
We figured out how to use my baby sling to harness Levi into my wheelchair! He loved it and it worked great! I may not need a power chair to get around the house with Levi.
Emily and Andrew were so great about everything! I am sure there will be hard time when they just want Mommy to do what she used to do, but today they were so positive and so helpful and so kind!
