goodbye and hello

When we left the hospital we went straight to Christy and Gabes where I got to shower and Christy snuggled Lane.

We sat together and had a good cry over our journey.

We both experienced things together and separately that no one will fully understand.

We were so sad to say goodbye.

This huge chapter in our lives was closing and we were sad to let that go.

We exchanged a long hug with lots of tears and we left for our hotel.

Romney and I were so thankful for all the alone time we had with Lane.

Yes, we missed our family and friends and could NOT wait for all to meet him

but it was pretty special to be just us for a minute.

We didn't have a crib at the hotel, so we made him one out of the dresser drawer.

We were more than ready to get home and see our babies!

Lane did great on the plane and even the flight attendant gave Lane a shout out over the intercom as being the youngest passenger she'd ever flown with!

(he was 2 days old)

When we got home, we were greeted by two kids in the driveway with open arms!

We were bombarded with hugs, kisses and more hugs.

We came inside and the kids fell in love.

And here we all are, all FIVE of us

finally under one roof!

This was the plan for our family all along.

Each of our kids have come to us in the most miraculous way.

We have had to go great lengths to get them here.

Each of them have been worth it.

I would not trade any of it.

These are my people.

 My heart is full.
