MAYBE HOME TODAY FOR BEX AND DANTE?

First up for the day, I want to show you the lovely meal Tess made for the family last night:

 ABOVE:  our dinner... so, so yum.

ABOVE:  Father and son...

 ABOVE:  Oh look!  Dante can cry... and I'm thinking we will be getting used to that. *smiles*

 ABOVE: The new little family.

ABOVE: A lovely photo of them, shame it's a bit blurry.
 
 ABOVE:  me and Dante...  yeah... I look tired.

ABOVE:  ditto.   Such a little love.
 
Today:  Brylee and Griffin finish school at 12.30 today... then they have about 6 or so weeks summer holidays.
 
Steve and I will go up to the hospital once Brylee and Griffin are home.  Maybe by then Bex will know if she can come home, or stay another night.  It will depend on how Dante is doing of course.
 ONWARD...
 
FUNNY STORY: 
 Last night Russell let rip with a nasty fart in bed... Sienna was sound asleep.... the smell must have hit her cos she just up and said 'SHIT'!!!  Well done Steve and Bex, she can now say SHIT.  Russell and Tess laughed their heads off... so much so that Tess had to leave the room cos she was cracking up so much.  *smiles*
 
Steve has been called into work, they are flat out and need him, so today's plans change.  Bex will know after 3pm if they can come home from the hospital.
 
Bex got the 'all clear' much earlier than we expected...
ABOVE: Steve dressing his son in the nightgown his Paternal Grandmother made for HIM when he was a newborn.  Yep... I kept it... it's 26 years old.

 ABOVE:  Dante in his going home gown.

ABOVE:  Steve putting Dante in his carseat, with the Baby shawl that was made for my first born baby by my MATERNAL Grandmother.  So now it's on her Great Grandson 34 years later.

 ABOVE:  leaving.... if Bex could have skipped down the corridor she would have! 

 ABOVE:  Yaaa, fresh air at last.


ABOVE:  Home.

ABOVE:  Steve about to give them a kiss before he had to race off back to work.
 
Bex, Dante and I all had a nap after lunch, which was great.  So needed a little catch up rest.
Dante is doing well.
 
Stew saw my blog update with Dante in the little gown his Mum made for Steve and he found it hard not to cry... awwww, he's a big softie is my man.  I love him so much, he's special is my man.
 
How anyone can dislike him is beyond me.  He has a heart of gold ... and marshmallows!
 
End of Day:  it's been a really lovely day, having family all around us... and of course having Bex and Dante home with us is special too.
Finally got the Christmas tree and deco's out of the attic, so that might just be a job for tomorrow.
nite nite

  10. Woo-hoo! I am so happy for you, Chris. Little Dante is beautiful and I'm thrilled he's doing better. You've had a couple of busy days. Hope you all can get some rest-- although I'm guessing it's hard to take your eyes off of Dante for more than a minute :-)

    Congratulations one and all. You have yourself a gorgeous little stocking stuffer this year!

    Merry Christmas, xo jj

  17. Honest to god Chris, do you have to continually make me cry (I say with a smile) , what is it with me and your grandchildren. How lovely that they are home, love the fact that they are home with you. Of course seeing more updated photos has made me cry. How lovely for you to have your Aussie grandchildren and newborn Dante and the lovely keera all with you. Martine xx

  18. LOVING all the great photos of the darling Dante. Both Guy and Corbin wore a handed down home-coming gown from the hospital. I think I wore it (or my brother?) so it's at least 44 years old.

    Not sure where it first came from, but it's very sentimental to me, so I can see why it's important to your family xxxxx

  19. Love the updated photos of Steve and Bex - also noticed the other update there as well.
    So cool having the clothing for the new generations to wear.

    Love Bex's "socks" i guess that is to help the swelling?
