Wednesday night Sam and Ashley finally got to bring little Berkley home! We did our best to make it welcoming.
Joli was a huge helper as always. She felt extra special being able to do something for the baby.
Joli was so excited to see Berkley! Of course she immediately wanted to hold her but that might have been a tad overwhelming for the little one, so Joli settled for just rubbing her head and talking to her.
It was very important to Joli that she get the baby a present for when she got home. We looked through most of the toys at Target but she insisted that this little doll was exactly what Berkley needed.
On Thursday Papa and William came over and Berkley went on her first outing out to lunch with every one. Joli wasn't feeling too good, but she was happy to have Papa hold her.
I made Ashley and I baby wraps last week, and Ashley was so excited to try it out! She especially liked that she could have Berkley close to her without having to worry about people getting too close.
After we finished lunch I got every one loaded into the car. Brody was excited to be going for a ride.
Most of the time we were visiting, Joli was laying on the couch watching movies. Unfortunately she came down with a cold just after we got there and was pretty much miserable. So I decided that she would probably feel much better being home in her own bed, and we began the trip back. What do you do when your little girl has barely smiled in days? Buy her a giant pink ducky of course!!
Today was pretty much awful for all of us. We had stopped to get some sleep last night in hopes that today we could just get up and finish out the rest of the drive and still have some of the day to relax at home. Unfortunately the traffic was just horrendous and we ended spending an extra five hours in the car!!! Luckily Joli was perfectly happy watching movies.
Now we're finally home and have some things put away. Joli is sleeping next to me in bed and I'm about close my eyes too!
