Home, Sweet, Home

We brought Rani home yesterday, and it was great. It's about 1 1/2 hrs from Columbus to Vaiden, and the whole ride Rani just slept, and slept. When we left the hospital we had Rani dressed in her grandfather's Christening Gown. My dad was christened 53 yrs ago in this gown, my brother Clint was brought home in it 31 yrs ago, I was 27, and my sister was 18. So It's been around the block.

Mary Martha's mother, and sister, and her son Joshua have been here to help Mary Martha with the day to day stuff while I'm at work. So they have been a big help here, and the church has been so generous in bringing meals to the house so we don't have to cook right now.

Mary Martha's grandparents also came over last night, so Rani got to visit with her Great Grand Parents. We had a good visit and ate dinner together. Then today we got in the swing of changing outfits several times due to bodily functions, and finally getting Rani's room decorated.

Hope you enjoy the pictures.
