California Love... and then Surgery

First time meeting Anna! George, Carly, me, Anna, Hil and Theo

Life seems to be moving very fast these days.  It's hard to believe that it has been almost a full week since we were in California.  What a special trip for me!  Last weekend was the first time that my dad, my twin,  my younger sister, and my brothers-in-law had met Theo outside of the hospital.  I really enjoyed seeing them meet him as a little boy in the real world, and not just a patient.

Theo also met his California cousins for the first time.  He loved to snuggle with Anna (my beautiful, incredibly good 3-week old niece) and to watch George ("the Great," a very active two-year old).  We were able to capture all three on camera in what is one of the funniest, most awesome pictures I have ever seen.  (Seriously, it looks like Theo could body-slam Anna AND George.  What a chunk!)
