Hooray, hooray! We are settling back in, eating delicious meals, loving on our little girl, catching up on Game of Thrones, getting very little sleep and adjusting to life as a family of three.

    Perfect – happy to see this 🙂
    I follow along and check in daily… I don’t comment often but I’ve been so pleased for you lately. And being together as three, and I can relate too, is bliss.

    And I know you’ve got like much more important and significant things going on in your life, but last season’s Game of Thrones was wild! Have fun catching up.

    Ellerie looks truly happy to be staring up at her daddy and enjoying the comfort of her home and having her people around her. IS there anything better?
    I check in daily, and I too am just so happy for you. Your comfort and joy in being a mom radiates off the page. Sleepless nights and all. 🙂

    This picture…a tear and a smile from me.
    GAAA! So ridiculously happy for the 3 of you! How content, happy, satisfied and LOVED you all must feel…even with those sleepless nights!
    Enjoy every moment…they go by so incredibly fast.

    ps…with all of my girlfriends, family members, acquaintances, even celebrities, that I have watched being pregnant and eventually with their little ones, even holding the cutest little ones, your Little E has been the only ones to give me that baby itch! UGH OH! =)

    Awwww bless! I’m so glad for you all. I saw the title turn up in my Feedly and I so hoped it was your blog… and then I scrolled down and saw that it was and I actually did go awwwww out loud. Isn’t it funny how you can get attached to someone who you’ve never met IRL but you feel like you know them from their blog? I’m so chuffed for you and that time apart will really make you appreciate your time together xXx

    I’ve been getting my “Elise fix” from reading your archives and it’s so cool to read about your early days as a young couple who just moved in together. It gives the present blog posts such great perspective and added depth.
    So happy for you that he is home! Your travails with long-distance help me in my own long-distance situation. So, thank you.

    The photo is beautiful and I love a baby cuddled up on Mummy or Daddy. So glad your family is together again in your very first home (which you have done an amazing job decorating by the way) with your very first child. Life couldn’t get better than that and don’t worry about the tomatoes….you can always go to the farmers markets!! Regards Kathy A, Brisbane, Australia
