No place like home!

Create Your Own!

We've been home just over a week and already Vietnam seems like a distant memory. We've all settled into a routine at home and are back on a normal sleeping schedule. Sarah is sleeping 12 hours a night and taking decent naps (we know we are spoiled!). Michael and I are finding that by 9:00pm we are wiped out - not sure if that is left-over jet lag or simply being parents. Michael went back to work last week and I have settled into my temporary life at home with Sarah. I'm enjoying my days of playing with our daughter and dare I say - even doing daily laundry and tiding up. Well, I did have a whole month off! It just feels good to be home!

We took Sarah to the doctor on Monday. She weighed in at a whopping 20 lbs. and measured 29 inches long, putting her in the 15th percentile for her age (15 months). I bought her a pair of booties at Target and she needed 0-6 month size - tiny! The doctor was very pleased with her health and appearance. We will go back soon for more immunizations and the rest of her physical exam.

Our week has been full of wonderful visits with family and friends. Sarah is a real sweetheart and seems to enjoy every bit of the attention she is getting. So far, so good...sometimes we just have to pinch ourselves and ask, "Is this for real?" And we praise God that it is!
