A Day I Could Only Dream Of

...UNTIL NOW!!!

SPENCER'S HOME!!!

There are no words to describe how unbelievably happy we are right now. After 43 days, one blood exchange transfusion, 2 surgeries, and tons of stuff in between, our little miracle gets to experience the comforts of home. You have all taken this journey with us and at times, were the ones that kept us going. We could never show you enough how much all of the support meant to us and pushed us forward. We can only say THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts that you kept Spencer in your thoughts and prayers the entire time. We could not ask for better people to have in our lives. We are so lucky and cannot wait for him to meet all of the people that cared so much about him! We also owe so much to the doctors, nurses and staff at both hospitals we were at. Without their constant care and specific attention to Spencer's situation and needs, we would not have our beautiful boy home with us right now. Thank you!!

DEAR SPENCER,
YOU ARE TRULY A BLESSING AND A MIRACLE. WE ARE OVERJOYED TO HAVE YOU HOME WITH US. WE CAN FINALLY BE A FAMILY OF 4 TOGETHER! WE PROMISE TO LOVE YOU UNCONDITIONALLY AND WORK HARD TO GIVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU DESERVE. WE ARE THE LUCKY ONES TO GET TO HAVE YOU AS A SON AND LITTLE BROTHER. YOU AND YOUR SISTER ARE THE BEST THINGS THAT EVER HAPPENED TO DADDY AND I. YOU HAVE TAUGHT US SO MUCH IN YOUR SHORT 6 WEEKS. WE LOOK FORWARD TO ALL THAT WE'LL LEARN FROM YOU IN THE FUTURE AND CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH YOU GROW!


Finally, a family picture-we each have our "mini me"!!

We didn't waste any time loading the kids in BOB for a quick stroll around the neighborhood after dinner:)

I put Spencer in this seat when we got home. It brought back so many memories of Avery sitting in this very seat when she was just a wee one.

Gigi so happy to hold Spencer and see him home!

Avery had some pool time in her new pool, courtesy of Gigi and Pop Pop

Trying out the slide-I promise, we didn't try to coordinate her bathing suit with her pool!
