Here are some more photos from our family meeting on Thursday night.

So, moving on to today -- Friday. JB and I spent a lot of time at the hospital as we waited to get confirmation that Isaac was in fact going to be discharged today. For awhile there was some debate as to whether they were going to wait until Saturday afternoon for discharge. We took a brief break to have lunch at Bimini Boatyard (one of my favorites!) and rest at Roy & Joan's house while we allowed the lawyer, doctor, nurse, and social worker, to hammer out the details of his dismissal. But at 8:30pm we finally got word that, in fact, we could go home! Here are some photos from today. It looks like I am wearing the same shirt as yesterday, but it is actually a different one! Some people asked for more photos of me with Isaac so JB made a point to take some today. JB and I were able to spend a lot of time just the three of us in a room off the nursery.
JB changing Isaac right after we got word that we could go home. We are waiting for the lawyer to arrive.

We are now back at my parents' house with Dad, Mom, Keith, and AD. Tomorrow, this will be "home base" while family comes to visit here. Thank you to everyone for all your love and prayers. We are doing wonderfully and are so glad to finally have Isaac with us.

Has anyone said yet that he is gorgeous!
I wanted to send you a song Mom K sang over her babies, that i copied: re-reading it has so made me think of you and Isaac:
Long ago and far away
I dreamed a dream one day--
and now--that dream is here
beside me
Long, the skies were overcast,
but now the clouds have past --
You're here--at last!
Chills run up and down my spine
Aladdin's lamp is mine--
the dream I dreamed was not
denied me
Just one look and then I knew,
that all I longed for long ago
was you!

You gotta love a lawyer named Fritz. I do.
This is so much fun! You will be living on a cloud for months. Looking at your pictures brings back so many memories of E and our first days with him. Sometimes I still can't believe we're parents even after 18.5 months.
Keep the info and pics a-comin'.
Miss Bri is on my mind a lot, too. Prayers and hugs for her. (((((Bri)))))
Happy,happy-joy,joy!
John and Wendi have a boy!

Hey Wen,

You guys look so happy. I am so happy for you guys. After such a long journey God has blessed you with a beautiful son.
So tell me was the car ride home the absolute scariest thing ever? I remember ours 6 months ago. I was so scared. I must have drove 20 mph. Congrats again. Enjoy everyday, they grow up quick.
