Family visits...

We have enjoyed two lovely visits in this first month of transition... for better or worse!! Patrycja's mom was here for the first two weeks of Anaïs' life -- actually arriving the evening Anaïs was born. We had a wonderful time... Krystyna played all day with Isabel and offered her all the attention she craved as she began her new role as a big sister.

Two days after she left, Joshua's mom arrived to continue to shower Isabel with attention. The following week Steve arrived. And everyone left on March 19th. Unfortunately, Steve & Mallory's visit ended with the drama of a dislocated elbow for Isabel. It was very traumatic for all of us to see Isabel go through so much pain. Thank goodness for wonderful doctors -- one of whom put the bone back into place and began the route to Isabel healing.

All in all we were grateful for the extra help from our parents... though we are also looking forward to enjoying some time as a family of four!!
