1 month old!

It seems a lot has happened since I last posted, we have had a really busy week. After a good report at our follow up appointment on Thursday, we were cleared to head back here to Austin. As most of you know, Gilly, Rylynn and I will be staying in Austin with Gilly's parents until our next surgery. It is imperative that we are near a great hospital during the next couple of months for any emergencies. So living out at the ranch was not an option and we're greatful that we are able to stay here for a while.

Gilly and I were so worried about our drive back from Dallas, but Rylynn was such a great road-tripper. We fed her and put her in the carseat sleepy-eyed. She was fast asleep and we did not have to stop until 2 1/2 hours into the trip so that we could feed her. With a full belly we were off again and made it all the way to the door step with no screaming break downs. We were so proud!

Upon our arrival, Rylynn was able to meet Hondo. He was so excited to see Gilly and I that it took him a while to realize there was even anyone else. He quickly took a liking to her and before the end of the afternoon he was sleeping with Rylynn and Gilly on the living room floor. He has acted like a great big brother by checking her room everytime he comes in the house and even howls by the back door when he hears her cry.

We were excited to have family come visit us this weekend so Rylynn has officially met all her Aunts. Even though they've been here for us over the last month, it's crazy that they are all just now getting to hold her and see her. The one thing we have tried to work on since coming home is teaching this crazy kid to sleep at night and play during the day. Hospital life has led her to think that everyone is awake at all hours of the day and night. Let's hope we can get her turned around soon.

I've posted more pics, I hope you all enjoy them.

With love. . .
