Big Sister's big moment

We had some girl time at the hospital today, just Ella and Mommy with Mr. Max.



Ella had not seen Max for two weeks, because she and Alex were both sick with a bug last weekend. Two weeks ago, when she planned to hold him for the first time, he had an infection in his incision, and just
wasn't up to it.







But today, he was well, she was well, and the stars finally aligned! You can't imagine what joy until you see her little face... and his. He listened to her every word, held her finger and fell asleep with his big sister. I couldn't have been more proud of the two of them.












Daddy and Alex came back after their Costco run for a little family time. This is the second picture of our family of 5. The first with Max out of his isolette, so you can see all of us together.
