Homecoming!

Somewhat of a misleading title, but oh well. As promised, more pictures!

Following the delivery of the boys, I have hardly picked up my camera. So much craziness going on, maybe some of the stories will make it to this Blog, but doubtful. They more so belong in a book for dads bringing home babies. What to expect, what to not expect, and tips on survival. All stuff I really needed to know.

Anyway, these shots are from when we brought the boys home. I had the idea of having all the family present when we arrived with the boys. This way we could have video and still shots of the arrival, but also for support and it was an opportunity for Carolyn and I to thank the most important people in our lives. The people we couldn't have survived without. Little did we know how important they would be in the first week with the boys at home.

It was an fantastic evening. We ate Pot Roast, watched the Packers game and took some time to just be together. My parents drove in from Columbia, Carolyn's parents, who had been with us at the hospital almost continually helping us sort through all the mounds of information, were there, and Carolyn's sister, Jacqueline, also spent some time hanging out.

I wouldn't trade that night of memories for anything.

For all the family reading this, thank you again. Your support, encouragement, and patience is invaluable. For those close enough to us to know what we went through this past week, you also played and enormous role in us (mostly me) keeping our sanity (this means you Jen and Darren!)

Enjoy the images, they were taken by my dad, Merle, an accomplished photographer in his own right and are SOTC (Straight out of the Camera) with no adjustments. Spot on, as usual!
