Sweet Moments

Here are just a few of the sweet moments in our family this past week--Bright's first week home.

• First time in his car seat (he does VERY well--no problems).


• Bright falling alseep in Daddy's arms on Day 2 home.


• Seeing all three of my children in the same room together--at long last!


• Walking downstairs to see my husband and all three of our children sitting on the floor rolling the ball.


• First trip to Cracker Barrel--Gillispie family tradition!


• Watching Taevy, who has struggled with attachment, explain to her brother that "This is your home now and we are your family forever. Mommy will never leave you again."


• Upon finding out that he and Taevy were going to spend the day with their grandma, Samren said, "But Mommy, I'll miss my brodder Bright a whole bunch!"


• Watching Bright "learn quick!" There is a time during Eric's dialysis treatment that we all have to put on medical masks to create a sterile environment. We give Bright his mask and he puts it over his face like a pro (and blows bubbles into it)!


• When Samren was praying over dinner he stumbled over his words. He has said, "And please let Bright come home." for nine months. This time he said, "And please let Bright...and I become best buddies."


• Watching Bright fall absolutely head-over-heals in love with his big sister Taevy.


• Bright's first experience with playing in the sprinkler.


• The boys' first bath together.


• Dressing Bright in his Boomer Sooner best!
