REUNITED WITH MY BABY GIRL

It is hard to get sweeter than this...

After being in Michigan for 3 weeks, Ed's girls are back at home.

This christening gown was made by my great grandmother for my grandfather to be baptized in. My father, older sister, myself, younger brother and sister, and niece and nephew were also baptized in it.

I spent 3 weeks in MI and got home yesterday. During that time Amber gained 1.5 pounds, started to smile and coo, grew a double chin and dimples in her elbows and her thighs became much thicker. Her personality is really starting to come out. She is very sweet and happy which is a blessing. I went to Michigan to be with my family while my dad underwent brain surgery in 2 separate procedures to reduce the effects of his Parkinson's disease. In August he has to have the devices that were implanted in his chest turned on and adjusted. When that is done hopefully the tremors will be reduced. It was a special time with my family as they were able to watch Amber grow and smile. I felt bad for being away from Ed that long (although he was gone during one of those weeks). Ed was very happy to have us home although his quiet nights are now over.
