The Runde Family: Home Sweet Home

A week has passed since Allison has made it home from the hospital. It is such a good feeling to be home again. Allison is doing so much better. She is starting to get back to herself again. She is running all around the house none stop babbling and smiling. It makes us smile just seeing her so happy again. Ever since she has made it home from the hospital she has been very clingy to mommy and daddy. She was a little clingy before but now it is even more. We love it right now just knowing that she is okay and we can make her feel even better. She has been getting extra spoiled lately by many people. I think she is soaking up all the extra attention.
Now that school has started we are starting to get back in a good routine at home. Oh how I love routines. It makes things go so smoothly for all of us. Allison seems to do so much better on a steady routine. Although I do miss spending my days with Allison in the summer, it is nice to get back in the classroom. This has been our first full week of school so far and I absolutely love teaching 5th grade. I have a great class this year and I am looking forward to spending the year with them. Even though I am back to work there is not a minute that goes by that I am not thinking about Allison.

I can't thank all my family and friends enough for all their support and prayers these last few weeks. It has been a bumpy road but, we are now hopefully on the right track. Thanks for all the cards, balloons, gifts, phone calls, texts, etc. A big thanks to all of those who came up to the hospital to visit Allison. It means so much to our family. I thought I would share some pictures of Allison during her week at Children's Hospital.
