Meeting the Family

Coming home from the hospital is always a surreal experience. It's a little like when you come home after a vacation. Everything looks the same...but a little different too. Things are even weirder when you've spent several days away from your children. Add bringing home a new baby, and then you've got the perfect mix for a chaotic homecoming!

Luckily, Gabriel is no stranger to the constant buzz of laughter, tears, and yes, fighting, that is a regular part of the soundtrack of our home. He had nine months and five days to acclimate himself to his new family!

Finally we're settled enough to take a nice family photo!

And another with mom.

Ava & Gabriel

Iris & Gabriel

Isabella & Gabriel

Owen & Gabriel

The boys!


And finally, some alone time with dad.
