Transition

Well, it's official. Time for me to transition into my new life with 5 sweeties. My mom left today after helping out for 2 weeks, and in so doing, left a great hole in all our hearts. She was instrumental in getting me back on my feet. I can't thank her enough for all of her help. She not only helped with the sweeties, but she hemmed my upstairs curtains, helped me hang all the curtains in the house, and made a cute stuffed tooth so D can now give her lost teeth to the Tooth Fairy. (I'll upload a picture in the near future.)

Q-tip, our newest addition, is doing very well. (Thanks for that nickname Joji!) He is a delightful baby. All of us are totally smitten. Just when I think my life is complete and my heart can't possibly hold any more love, it somehow expands to fit another sweet person. My hands have been full of this little bundle and I am so grateful for that.


Really, how could you not love him?

I'd like to thank you for all of your kind words and congratulations. It was immensely gratifying to realize how many people shared in our joy. I am so touched. Thank you.

Not fair...to show such cuteness with me so far away and not able to snuggle! No, I am grateful I can at least share in his newness through pictures. He is a keeper! I am so glad to hear your Mom was up to her usual supportive self and helped with so much. But you still need to take it on the easy side. Love you all too much!

I'm glad you are all enjoying the little one! I know you are swamped, but I'm eager to see Halloween pictures and how all the costumes turned out. Please....
