Life is complete now. There is so much to say - but no way to say it. He's home and my family is under one roof. Over 6 years from the day we started this journey our family is all together. Yes we have challenges ahead, big ones and then the small everyday ones, but nothing will be harder than what we have already faced.
The second picture is Neva being re-introduced to her brother when he got home. No one noticed until after the picture was taken that they both reached for each other and held hands. The two of them seem to be very aware of each other. They stare at each other and smile at each other. Even before Jackson came home he had some many of the same mannerisms that Neva has shown. Maybe they have a special connection somehow. Matthew is more interested in getting his hands on his brothers tubing and looking at all the cool equipment that came home with him. He also likes to get right in his face to tell him stories and share his drool!
The third picture is their first morning home - their 8 month birthday. Nicole (our amazing childcare provider!) bought them matching outfits for this special day and I had all of these visions of sweet, loving baby pictures....that did not pan out! I was getting frustrated trying to get all three to smile or even look at the camera but then I just realized that every day life is what we have now!! So here is everyday life right now...Matthew in his own world trying to get to his foot (or feet) so he can insert them into his mouth, Neva posing and looking for the camera, Jackson staring at his hands that he just found about two weeks ago!
Life is good!
