Grandma & Grandpa Snitger wasted no time in making the trip to California to meet their grand daughter.  Ed & Jeannie spent the day taking care of Piper (and here we thought they wouldn’t want anything to do with her) and really helping out around the house with cooking and picking up.  It’s been a tremendous help to have a few extra hands, thank you both.  On top of scrambling to get out here as quickly as possible, they brought a beautiful gift from the Kretchmar family, Piper’s first birthday cake.  Thank you so much!

Piper also had her first doctor’s office visit today.  The pediatrician is fantastic and is happy with her progress so far.  A few more check-ups from the doctor and she should be all set.  Tonight begins our second night with her home, hopefully a few more winks of sleep.  Seems we gain a little ground each night as she develops her routine.
