The Justus Family: Adelyn and Briar are home!

Adelyn Kole and Briar Lynley were born on July 1st, 2009.

It's been a long time since I've posted anything. I finally have some great news to share. Our sweet Briar came home on July 8th, just one week in the NICU! She was a bit lazy at first but has been on the fast track to gaining and growing since we've been home. She weighed 5lbs 7oz at her 2 week check up. Everything has been in normal baby mode around our house, but that is changing.

Adelyn was released from the hospital today July 20th. It was a wonderful day for our family. Adelyn weighed only 3lbs 14.2oz. She is making wonderful progress though. Eating like a champ. She will be a chunk just like Briar in no time.

Of course, Konleigh and Peighton are excited about having another baby in our house but I expect that will change in time. Jealousy always rears its ugly head when a new person is welcomed into the family much less 2 new people. Only time will tell.

Jake and I are on a slight high right now. Having our family all home together is a blessing. Like Jake always says, "we discussed having a third child but never even talked about having 4" but I truely believe our family is complete now. Koko, Peighters, Adelyn & Briar will someday know how lucky they are to have sisters to share their lives with. Children are the true blessing of this world.
