We have been playing and reading and relaxing at home for a couple of weeks now. Henry was able to go with Gramme and Poppy to visit Aunt Kierste and her kids in Michigan. I was able to really cuddle and read and lounge with Eliza that first week of being home. She thrived on all the attention and really started to become more of herself everyday. She had been really clingy and unsure since the hospital so this was nice to see. It was nice for Henry to get out and go play with his cousins and it was also good for him to be able to run around and not hear "no" so many times pertaining to Eliza. She could not be touched anywhere on her chest and of course not pushed or wrestled. We were told not to pick her up underneath her arms either. Eliza is healing very quickly and both kids are just loving spending time with Gramme and Poppy. It has been such a wonderful visit. This would have been a very different story if I was alone with a very anxious and recovering baby girl and a very bored and active 4 year old. Thank you just does not even begin to cover it. A hard situation was truly turned into a blessing:) Thank you mom and dad!

We made this tractor together. Henry was so thrilled. He loves doing little projects. We glued it together and then painted it. Henry did a great job! My dad also helped Henry make a house out of cardboard and all sorts of other things. He had a great time painting it afterwards. Henry has been able to spend lots of time with Poppy playing and rough housing and working. He has been able to spend lots of time cuddling in bed with Gramme and reading books and all sorts of other things. I am not sure how Gramme got away with no pictures this time!!:) I think Eliza is thinking that Gramme and Poppy are a permanent fixture in our home. She loves them so much and the feeling is very mutual.
