First car ride
We walked in the door and recognized the yummy smell of pumpkin chocolate chip muffins (my favorite!). My wonderful sister-in-law, Jen, had made them for me after I had Ashlyn and recently sent a batch back from Utah just about ready to be tossed in the oven when Paige was born. My mom had mixed in the last few ingredients and put them in the oven. I felt loved. :-) The big kids were at school and Ashlyn was getting ready to leave for preschool. She was so excited to meet her baby sister!
When I finally coaxed her away from the baby for a hug, the first thing she asked me was, "Did you get your lap back?!". Oh my sweet girl! She had been missing sitting on my lap the last few months. Ashlyn is such a snuggle bug and had been settling for laying over my tummy, but missed having me all to herself.She was so excited to hold Paige before she went to school. I wish we could have captured the look on her face when Paige was first put into her arms. It was priceless. (Good thing my heart took a picture.)
She giggled and grinned at her tiny features and felt like such a big girl with a baby in her arms. After she kissed everyone goodbye, she put on her backpack, waived and said, "Bye, Baby Paige! I'm going to preschool. See you later!"
My new bling! Yes, Paige counts as a new accessory! She even has a little bling that Talli made her!
The kids came home and could hardly contain their excitement! They were all dying to hold Paige! It seems like everyone has been sick and we were a little worried about Paige catching anything. We had the kids wash up and put on one of Jason's clean shirts to cover up whatever germs they may have brought home from school on their clothes. They were so excited to hold her that they didn't even complain.

My mom took Ashlyn to preschool and Jason left shortly after that to pick up a few things that I needed. It felt so good to be home. I snuggled up on the couch with my precious baby girl feeling very grateful for her and all of the people that take such good care of me.

A ladybug key chain because Paige's theme is ladybugs, a heart and scroll necklace and matching bracelet and a very sweet card. There are five hearts on the necklace to represent all five kids. (I still can't believe I'm a mom to 5 kids!)

They were so excited to hold her that they didn't even complain. Lauren would have held her forever but Austin was anxiously waiting his turn. He had been sick for a week and was at the tail end of it. Luckily, the nurse at the hospital sent us home with a bunch of face masks.
Jessica was last, but oh so sweet with Paige. She had teared up the first time she saw her through the glass and the hospital and as she held her for the first time, there was a tenderness that made my heart even more full. (I didn't think it was possible.)
We are so excited to have Paige home and part of our family. I am excited to get to know her little personality.
