Yesterday was Bella's first day home, and as can be imagined, there was a line of people waiting to greet her. Laura's Mom, Brother John and Sister-in-Law Ashley came with Bella's cousin Jack. My brothers also flew in from New York on Friday night bearing bags of gifts for baby Bella, and dinner for the rest of us.Needless to say, it was very busy around here; fun, but busy, and it eventually took its toll on Laura and I just as everyone left for the evening. Just as John and Mike were getting ready to leave Bella started to protest: maybe she was tired, perhaps just hungry, but quite possibly registering that her audience of undivided attention was slowly going away leaving her alone with just Mom, Dad, and the dogs. It took nearly all of our remaining ounces of energy to get her settled again before the two of us passed out. We feel bad that John and Mike could only spend an afternoon and evening with us before returning to New York, but given the circumstances, I'm sure everyone understands.
