Elly and Mom are doing very well and resting. We came home today, January 4th, 2001 and are trying to spend some time relaxing and recuperating.

Here are some early shots!!! More to come!

Dad, Mom, and Elly en route home thanks to Grama Ragone's generous ride (and graced by a very special floral arrangement -- pink Rosebuds, after Grandma Adams' nickname for Tara, arranged in a ceramic pink baby bootie that Tara's dear Uncle Tony and Aunt Kathleen gave to Tara's parents when she was born -- now Elly can pass it to her daughter!)

Thanks to Grama Ragone for the ride home and her support during our first day home!
