Willow's First 2 Weeks at Home

Hello Everyone!!
First, we have to thank everyone again for all the calls, visits, cards, gifts and happy thoughts for our new family.  We feel truly blessed to have such wonderful family, friends, and neighbors.  We are all doing very well at the completion of our first two weeks home. It has been a very busy time for us all.  We've had a few doctors appts. (standard check ups) and lots of company including the return of Papa who had been away since the day after we arrived home. 

Meanwhile, Daddy (Rick) has gone back to work but luckily his calendar has been a little lighter than usual so he's been around the house quite a bit.  This weekend will be busy again with more family visits, a Birthday Party for our friend Ben who turns 2, and a special visit with one of Daddy's former school teachers who is visiting in Yonkers from his home in Belgium.   

Willow is growing so fast.  I know everyone says this about their kids as it is always true and in this case Willow has actually gained 1.5lbs and lengthened . 5 inches since we met her- less than 4 weeks ago.  Below are photos from our first two weeks at home. 

XO,
M&R&W! (and Ollie too!)

 Last night we received this beautiful bag - I'm pretty sure we'll find something to fill it!
