home sweet home*
cedar, canon 50D
We finally arrived home Friday evening. I hadn't realized how hard it was on our bones to be gypsies with a newborn for a few weeks until we melted into our bed and sofas here at home. Cedar is so much less stressed now that he doesn't have to be buckled into a carseat for hours. He loves his new home and the lights we have strung everywhere (that is where his eyes go when feeding him...we tell him they are "light fairies").
I am too tired to write...but wanted you to know that we are in bliss (and in a bit of shock). I am recuperating from a nasty cold I caught with lovely blisters on the back of my throat. It was difficult to have to keep my face away from Cedar at that time.
Time with my family at my parents house was so very comforting and the closest we felt to home in so long. I have photos to share and a few heart warming stories. That will be my next post, when I am a wee bit more rested and settled. Being with family was so what we needed.
Until then, we are cocooning like mad with our little boho schmook. Going with our instincts, making mistakes, forgiving ourselves, laughing, crying and gazing at our sweet little son for hours on end.
I took this photo today when daddy was sleeping and Cedar and I were watching the sunrise.

What a beautiful picture. He is beautiful. When I look at this picture it is obvious that he was always meant to be your son and you were meant to be his parents. I am so happy for you.

I second what Terri said above: enjoy every single second. They grow from one day to the next.
what an incredible journey for your family! rest and nest.
I just want you to know that your story has been warming my soul for the past few weeks now.
It is a reminder of so many things such as the fact that dreams still come true, joy is just within reach, and the strength that is within all of us.Boho boy, yourself, K, & T created the most amazing environment for little Cedar.
Enjoy being at home with your son. You deserve to soak up every minute of this.

i miss him so much already and am so glad to hear you're all nesting just fine. boo on that nasty cold and yes "sniff" i got it too, but it was well worth it for all the snuggling we did :)
your photo is "book worthy" and the subject priceless...cedar has no idea what he's in for with his paparazzi mom and family...i couldn't put my camera down, as everything he did was so cute and picture priceless.
i am loving you, always missing you and feel the coziness of you being home...

Pure baby bliss :) Rest up and enjoy every sweet minute!
He is twanging a chord in every mothers heart. The beauty of a newborn is bliss makes me want another child. He is love.
Cant wait to hear more of your family and see more of him.
Go bath in his yumminess, it is so well deserved.
He's beautiful Denise. Welcome Home!
You are brave beyond belief to have had to do so much traveling with a newborn!! Yeeks!
I am so glad that you're home and can finally just be. You'll find that you develop your own patterns now you are actually in your home environment.
Loving the beautiful picture, and the fact that you acknowledge that you're going with your instincts and forgiving yourself any mistakes. Best thing you can do.
Love and blessings to you
pure heaven. I've never seen love like that come through in a photograph.
xxoxoxo
simply beautiful :) So glad you're home safe.
So beautiful! Wishing you rest and peace!

If I could articulate the feeling seeing this magical photo I would. But all words, at least the ones that could convey the emotion, have eluded me.
What bliss!
XOXO
Love the little hair standing up on his whole little body...or is that the fairy dust we see?
Teehee...you are having so much fun?!
Big hug, and a little kiss for your son behind his ear...in his neck xx

Denise,
How much are you in love? Love! With the rolls on the itty baby back? That was my all time favorite with Samantha! I took so many pictures of the layers I can't even hardly talk about it. Congrats infinity bigillions!!!

I am coming out of lurkdom here to say Congratulations! I wish you all the best and I am so glad that things worked out for all of you. Cedar is exactly where he should be.
When I would read your posts of longing for a baby I hoped that someday you would experience these moments of pure joy and motherhood.
Congratulations. Adoption is a wonderful thing.
so much peace.
