Going Home

When we came home, Marleigh had made an elaborate sign that hung across the entire back wall of the house to welcome home baby Jack. I thought we took a picture, but I don't seem to have it. It was so special! It was fun to watch my family interact with the baby (or hold him I guess since he mostly slept!). There is just something sweet about grandparents holding your child. I guess it gives me a glimpse of what their faces may have looked like and how they felt when they first held me when I was born. I suddenly had a new respect and understanding for my parents that was not there before. I seemed to understand now why they did the things they did and how much they love me. I had no idea of this love before I had Jack.
