Finally Home!!!!
We arrived home Wednesday in Chicago and then had a little gathering at the Bloomington airport that night! Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome home and to all my family and friends for making our return home so memorable! Thank you for the clean house, the welcome home signs, the decorated kitchen with signs, balloons, and banners, the gifts for Monroe, and for the meals we have received so far!!!! It has truly blessed Dan and I so much. We are so grateful to have amazing friends, family, and a church that has provided us so much support through this journey! Here are some photos of our first moments together as a family of 6!!!! It's true what they say.........there's no place like home!!!
Thanks again and we love you!!!

  1. Hip, hip, hooray! I've been going through Monoroe withdrawal, so glad you posted again. What sweet, sweet pictures: Willard family of 6. We're so proud of all of you. Hayes' heart for Monroe is beautiful, and the boys were such troopers while you were gone. I look forward to hearing about your time in St. Louis. Blake is dying to meet Monroe, but were trying to give you time to settle in and adjust.

  2. Love these photos! And, how do you look so cute and put together for your airport photo? I was an emotional mess! And, Nora was overwhelmed and screaming!!! The plan is to try to get some photos and a post up today. It's so good to be home! I would love to meet you and have Monroe and Nora see each other. We need to keep in touch! Hope your adjustment home is going well.
