Sh.awn's Day

Yesterday was Sh.awn's Day. 7 years ago yesterday, Shawn came home from the NICU. He was 90 days old.

7 years ago yesterday, after spending so much time in the between--parents yet unable to be care takers--we actually had a child in our home.



I honestly didn't know what to do with myself, especially because I am not exactly sure I truly believed we'd ever get to take them home.

Yesterday we celebrated Sh.awn and his Homecoming.

He reveled in the chance to call all the shots for the day, eat cake, and open a present.

He loved the idea of a day all for himself, something that is extra nice when you are a twin.

And while it is important for me to give Sh.awn a day to feel special, we celebrate Sh.awn's Homecoming Day because I am so very thankful we have him in our lives.

Happy Homecoming Day, Sh.awn!
