Just a quick update on how we're doing two weeks after arriving home. I believe Caroline and Drew are doing the best. She's sleeping 12 hours a night in her own room (sorry Debbie) and taking a short nap. She's definately taken after me in the food department and has a very healthy appetite. She'll try anything once and loves vegetables, but not so much with fruits (unless it's mixed with something). She even likes the yucky ones like peas and lima beans. She loves being held, but is also content to play on the floor or in her pack n play if I need to get something else done. Her worst moments are anything to do with water--baths or even washing her hands in the sink. She and Drew really get a kick out of each other. He is the great entertainer and loves to "be in charge" when I get a shower or do something else. We've taken note of some great Drew-isms to share. He told me that he loved her so much that he wouldn't even take $500 for her or all the chocolate chip cookies in the world. And once after dinner I told him that she ate so much I think she might explode to which he said, "I hope not, we just got her." Darrin went back to work right away, but still hasn't felt quite right and had to miss one day of work last week. Who knew that two kids would be so much harder than one. It's amazing how much one extra little person would increase my laundry and dish washing duty. I'm getting a little more organized every day, but still have a long way to go before being caught up on. Fortunately my writing assignments have been light lately because I've only had an hour here or there to spend on that. I sure hope that changes soon. It's such a great outlet for me and I miss it.

We are sad when we think about all that Caroline Bei has endured in the last 18 months. She has known change that most of all with never known in a lifetime, yet she is so brave and trusting. Although she is not quick to let other people hold her (unless you are a male) she smiles and waves for just about everyone. Unlike what her nanny told us that she's afraid of everything, we've found that she's hardly afraid of anything (except furry things and things with faces). We love her so much and know by the way she snuggles us she loves us right back.
