Back in Boise

Hooray, we're home! Our house wasn't burned down, vandalised or robbed while we were away! We left Ross and Marde's house yesterday around 2:00, and both Corbin and Ivy did very well all the way home. Dexter stayed with grandma for an extra day and will be flying up with her tonight. We got home just after 8:00 and Corbin didn't stop talking about how all our stuff was still there and working, until we put him in bed around 10:30. He was so cute with Ivy, telling her where her room was, and where the bathroom was, even though, he said, "she is a baby and goes poop in her diaper still." He kept comparing things to his grandma's house too, like how daylight savings happened while we were gone, so our clocks all said 9 instead of 8, he's like, "at grandma's house the clocks say 8:00, but at our house they say 9:00. Grandma's clocks are loud, but our clocks are quiet." Etc. etc......he just went on like that. It was cute, and fun, and we are very happy to be home. We really appreciate Ross and Marde for letting us stay with them for exactly 2 months (Oct. 28-Dec. 28), and not getting frustrated because the house was always messy, and there was constant noise. They always watched our kids, fed them meals, gave them baths, and much much more, they really went beyond the call of duty. We know there are not enough thank you's for all they did for us, and we can never really pay them back, but hopefully they know how much we appreciate and love them for it. Thanks guys, we love you!!

We were glad to hear you got home safely, Kim kept us informed on when you left and got home.
Corbin is so smart,it's amazing how observant he is. He always told me how big his house is in Boise. I'm glad Ivy did well on the drive home.

Now you can start to put down some roots with your little one. At least for a little while. Glad things went smoothly on the way home.

I am so glad you are all home safe and sound with your sweet little Ivy.
I would like to bring you guys over some dinner. Please tell me when a good day would be and if you have any allergies in the family. Also if you need me to take your boys while you have to go to the doctor or if they are just cooped up and need to get out of the house to play with someone, I would love for them to come over.

I am glad you got home safely, Corbin amazes me he is so smart. It can be hard to take care of a special needs baby, if you have any questions I am here all of the time.

I am so glad that your family is finally HOME!! What a relief that that chapter in your life is over. Now you can get on with learning how to live with 3 children. Ivy is such a sweet heart and I hope she continues to grow bigger and stronger.

I was so happy to hear you finally were able to take your new baby Ivy and family home. No matter how good people are to help it is always better to be home.
