Headed home

We have brought all of our children home from the hospital in LSU outfits, so it was only fitting that Chloe come home in her tiger best...with a nice pink twist, of course. It didn't hurt that we came home on Saturday--when the fighting tigers played their first game of the season. Jennifer had been watching the boys for us and had decorated the whole house in LSU gear and had beautiful purple and gold flowers in honor of the game (and pink glads in honor of baby coming home!) She had also planned a tailgating feast for us. It was all a wonderful treat to come home to and to celebrate the arrival of our newest family member.

It was a wonderful day and it was a terrible day. Chloe got to come home and our family was complete, but later that afternoon we got the word that my dad lost his battle with cancer. I have tons of emotions and feelings about the loss of my father--but I will post all of that separately. I have struggled a lot with all the things I am feeling right now--as I said--a joyful time mixed completely with a sorrowful time makes for very complicated thoughts!
