So What's Next?
For the next few weeks I'm just enjoying the utter joy of having BABYGIRL HOME.
I will keep blogging for some period of time - maybe months, maybe longer. I promise when I decide to stop, I'll announce it well in advance.
For now I'll blog about Eliana being home (YAY!!!) and my adjustments to being back in the States. I also have a several part series of The Rest of the Story I plan to post in a few weeks. |

They make me smile... and Eliana makes me smile... and they're girly. (Nothing deeper than that - no red thread, no secret handshake.)
