Long Journey Home



Sleeping beauty's last morning in the hospital. Little does she know what's in store for her today.








Daddy gives Bea a kiss for taking her whole bottle. She weighs 5 lbs 9 ounces now -- making up for lost time!








A special sign for the homecoming queen - thanks Nana's biking group!







In the car seat ready to leave the hospital. We only look serene because we tired ourselves out with vigorous screaming.







Last family photo in the hospital.








Daddy taking Bea to the car. First exposure to sunlight & fresh air for the Little One!








We think the car is pretty cool and slept the whole way home!








Mommy bringing Bea into the house.








Mommy and Bea, home at last.











"I'm going to karate chop you for changing my diaper!"








Timmy checks out the intruder. He and Oliver haven't yet decided if she can stay.







Daddy and Bea after a long, long journey.





More to come later on tonight, if Daddy has the energy. We couldn't have gotten here without all your love and support.

All the best,
Team Beatrice (Carol)

What an exciting day for Team Beatrice!!! You must be in shock! I am so very happy for all of you, and praise God for the life and health of little Bea. May you all enjoy sweet sleep in your very own beds, despite the noisy little one!

Grace and Peace, Wendy

We wish we could be there on what must be such a wonderful, exciting and emotional day. Welcome Home Bea - your parents, family and friends love you very much.

As for Timmy and Oliver - don't mind them. They are despondent only because they are jealous of how cute you are.

Congrats to M&D!

There's no place like home!
Bea, you look like you're already settling right in -- and tell those kitties, you are now the BOSS!

Love and hugs, Darrell and Evonne
