Olivia's Coming Home and the days following...

OK so besides our garage looking like romper room...I love the excitement on their faces!!!
Leyla made the most amazing sign for Olivia using the kids hands and foot prints and hung it on the garage.  She had all the kids sitting down waiting for us when we pulled up.  Sophia's teachers gave her a "O is for Olivia" crown that she was wearing and gave us the cutest pink onesie for her with the school logo on it.  Sophia's class also made an adorable basket for us with a mini chalkboard on it with Olivia's name and it was filled with lots of goodies(wipes, booties, onesies).  Presto's class gave us a snack basket mostly full of goodies for mama and both classrooms had signs on their door that had Olivia's birth announcement on them.  We are so lucky and blessed to be surrounded with such an amazing support system through our Church.  The mom's pretty much chased Brian down in the parking lot at drop off and begged us to let them send us meals!  We are so proud of our community and our Church and will make sure to give back in every way we can.  Support is everything when you have a growing family!
The kids were over the moon when we pulled in the driveway that Friday and showered their new sister with kisses.  They've been so loving and gentle(our biggest worry) and have welcomed her into the family so lovingly.





They couldn't stop staring at her!



And then Presto planted a big one on Daddy's cheek:)


She made herself right at home!

Even though it's blurry...look at her giant gummy first smile at home!


Phia would've held her all day...


Presto has grown up so much since we brought Bentley home.  He keeps saying "I want to keep her forever"


These precious first few days at home were so special.  The whole family together just enjoying our new love...

Uncle Frank and family came over for a quick visit...Olivia loves her Uncle already:)
