One year ago today Eli ...

Came home from the NICU! (Before I go to sleep I couldn't help but note this milestone). Last year on this date we brought home our little Eli. We were terrified and anxious about everything. So much so that Marcus slept on the floor of the nursery next to Eli all night (I tried too but I was still recovering). It's hard to believe that our crazy little Eli who never holds still once looked like this...

Then: May 31, 2009

Now: May 9, 2010

In many ways even though they were born on May 8th none of it really felt real until we had take home babies. Our lives as parents really started with the release from the NICU. How far we've come (now if only we could get the boy to eat something).
