I used this quote on the day we brought Zoey home from her last round of chemo,June the 2nd to be exact.My wish and prayer for you all,on this most joyous day,is that complete peace fills your hearts as you have finally reached this amazing day.And in your moments of stress and uncertainty as you begin your new normal,may you turn to Him when that peace seems to be elusive.We are thrilled.We are thankful.We are filled with great hope for the future that awaits you all.Congratulations!!

I am so thrilled for you all! My kiddos are begging to have your girls over since they are back from Utah! I told them that we need to let you have family time together - but we will call in a few days and see if the girls want to come and play! As always - let me know if there is anything that I can do for you all... I am only 2 minutes away! Love you guys!

Look at her looking around like, where am I. I'm so excited for you and for her. Home sweet home.

Shari said...

She is right where she should be! At HOME with you all. I am excited for you! I will also continue praying as you adjust to all her new med devices etc. She is one adorable dolly!

I have chills right now...how exciting, wonderful, crazy, scary and perfect...SHE IS HOME...right when sweet Bella belongs, with all of you! Have you thought about finishing her first day with a father's blessing. i told Kurt he needs to come home tonight and give Preslie one...she is still NOT sleeping, not my baby! It has me really worried. If a 'blessing' doesn't work, I am not sure what to do next.
But...so happy this day is here..happy for you all and cannot wait to share the next stretch of the journey with your sweet family!!
