This afternoon we busted Des out of the clink.  We’re all together now and I feel about a million times better!  In case you didn’t hear, our boys names are Teo (Tayo) Alexander and Desmond (and Molly Jones) Sage.  Words cannot express how excited and thankful I am to have them both in my arms.  I can breeeeeeeeath.  The plan is for me to stay in my pj’s with the boys for the next several days!  Ahhhhhh.

By the way, if you’ve never had people deliver meals to your home on a regular basis I HIGHLY recommend it.  The next time you have a baby, day surgery, a mole removed, or your dog is sick and friends ask, “Is there anything I can do to help?” you simply must try answering, “Please bring me food.”  It’s the most amazing, wonderful, stress-free, fantastic gift in the whole world! 

Someone at TC’s work offered to send a cleaning lady to our home.  I said, YES!  This might turn out to be the most amazing, wonderful, stress-free, fantastic gift in the whole world too. 

Raining down blessings.  Thanks to all. 

They’re home, they’re home, they’re home.  xoxoxoxoxoxo

    Pj’s and new babies. It gets no better than that!
    Yeah! I’m so glad he’s home. Enjoy every living breathing moment of it.
    I’m going for the food idea next time I need help too. Nothing like being fed by others.
    That was so nice.
    Love to all of you………

    P.S. Tell TC he’s overdue on a blog entry. Now that the babies are home, we need his words of enlightment too.

    I am so glad he is home. you guys have alot of eating, sleeping and spitting up to do. It will be so nice to have a housecleaner come. You have some really great friends. You are so lucky. I don’t know if you know about this, probably, but I thought I would pass it along. It was really helpful for me. They have a meeting once a month, but they have good resources and support you never dreamed you needed.

    Thrilled, of course, you are all finally together. That said, I must quote Max from “Where the Wild Things Are”: “And now… let the wild rumpus start!”

    Blog…Babys…Blog
    What in the world are you going to do for an encore.
    I am overjoyed by the healthy, happy, additions to the family and by the fact that more fodder will be added to the Blog. (my selfish and guilty pleasure—-among others).
    By the way, you left out of your list of pleasures: spa treatments, “carmaletas” and black tiger shakes.
    I’m also sad that I didn’t win the naming contest. (maybe next time) lol
    Enjoy. Luv to all
    See you in July.
