After a slight scare and another trip to the hospital for a few days, Helena came back even better than ever. Weaned off oxygen and only on one moniter, making her much more “portable”.
There she goes, cross-eyed again!
Without the nasal canula on her face for the first time I can remember, it’s like seeing her in a whole new way. And I like it 
.
Helena often gets dizzy when she’s upright or loses her orientation (part of CHARGE syndrome) so it took a while to get used to being in the carrier. I heard Mom call her “Little Gracie”…shocking! When we’re supposed to be calling her by her first name!
(Speaking of first names, Helena is a slight variation on Helen, my Grandma. Judith Anne was named for my other grandmother, Nanny.)
Look at her little eyes! It’s something amazing- how they seem to be looking at you and expressing so much when she can’t even see.
And what are the rest of the kiddoes up to? Sorting socks and getting crumbs on the table.
Duncan spent the whole day walking around in his flight suit saying “I’m Daddy! Back from work!”
I can’t believe Christmas is so close. This fall was a whirlwind, and things have been sneaking up on us. Merry Christmas, everyone, and remember that God came as a baby. And babies are awesome.

So glad to see your new sister is home and well!
I have one question. Do you live in England? I live in the US.
God bless, and Feliz Navidad!

Hello! Actually we don’t live in England. We used to live in Germany but moved back to the US last year. But I have been to England and we have some posts with pictures of our various trips there.
Merry Christmas!

Okay, just thought you might be English. You look and talk the way they do…my mistake!
I like your blog, keep it up!
God bless!

Well I consider that a compliment, thank you

I am glad Helena is doing better!
I do not think I would have recognized Duncan! He has grown so much since I saw him last.
