Home Sweet Home!

Wow, what a week! It has been so wonderful having Allie home now! She is doing great and loving every minute of being with her family. The transition to home went very smooth. It was hard to say goodbye to our friends at the NICU, but we promised to stay in touch and visit.

We've had a busy week of doctor's appointments, nursing home visits and settling Allie in. Big brother Boomer is curious about Allie and peeks in her crib to check up on her now and then.

Last night we went for our first family walk and Allie enjoyed getting fresh air. She is also quite the night owl (must get that from Papa Shepard!) but enjoys long afternoon naps. Grammy Karen came over yesterday to help out and loved holding Allie for the first time. Mom and Dad appreciated a little break too!

We are so grateful and happy to have her home!
