Home and settling in

We got home last night (Wednesday the 18th) and all is going well so far. Madeline slept most of the night, which was a relief. She seems to enjoy her crib and the rest of the stuff we have here for her. Heather put it well last night when she said "Welcome to your new home Madeline. This is where we used to live, and now it's where all your stuff is and you let us stay here with you." I picked up the dogs last night (Thanks to the Hilgendorfs again for keeping them) and they are adjusting very well to having Madeline here now.

Thanks to EVERYONE for your prayers and support during Heather's pregnancy. From thinking that she may not be able to get pregnant, to having this perfect little girl is more of a blessing than we deserve. I can't believe they actually let us leave the hospital with her! I also want to thank everyone in advance for the next many years of our lives as you help Madeline to grow up and become a beautiful young woman. According to Ted, as long as she ends up with her mom's looks and her dad's disposition, she should turn out just fine ;).

We look forward to seeing all of you soon. Keep checking back for updated photos and video. There will be many more to come!
