Thank you all for your prayers and words of encouragement. All 3 of us are doing great and enjoying being at home. We were discharged from the hospital yesterday with no problems. But of course, it wasn't long until we walked into our first adventure. We soon found out that the plumbing in our house had decided to back up and not function properly while we were in the hospital, leaving us without the use of toilets, sinks, tubs, etc. Thankfully we were able to find one of the few remaining hotel rooms in Starkville and checked in with Amelia's parents after 9 last night. So Joshua's "first night at home" turned into Joshua's "first night in a hotel." On the way to the hotel Dave looked at me and said, "I don't know if this could have happened at a worse time, but I guess it really couldn't have happened at a better time." We are blessed to have both sets of our parents here to help us. We were further blessed in that Joshua slept like a champ last night and had to be awakened to eat. Praise God the Roto Rooter man works on Saturdays and fixed our plumbing problem this morning, and we are back in business at the house. We are again looking forward to trying our hand at Joshua sleeping in his bed in his room. We'll let you know how things go.

Wow, an adventure for sure! LOVE the little bear suit. Glad y'all got the plumbing worked out so quickly. It is so special to bring them home to their own little room. We were remodeling when Kai arrived and didn't get "home" for three months. The beginning is all kinda a blur anyway, but I do understand the feeling of getting to go home. Congrats again!
wow- you know with the Nolen's there would have to be a crazy story to be able to tell people! We are well familiar with the Roto Rooter people, unfortunately. Glad you guys are home safely and that Joshua is sleeping well so far. Love the pictures!
He sure is a cutie! We are looking forward to meeting him in person. Much love and hugs to you all.
Aunt Gay and Uncle Larry
