Liftoff!

Sara donned the going-home duds mom knitted for her while pregnant. The anklets, as well as everything else, were slightly large.

Flashing some papal hand gestures for reasons she did not divulge, Sara bid adieu to the NICU staff as she was strapped into her escape pod.

Home at last, Sara snuggled with her nana.

As hoped, Sara's growth continues to mirror the changing of the seasons. Our neighbor across the parkway sported the first blooms in the neighborhood this past week. (Shows what a complete lack of chemicals can do for a garden!)

And here our story ends. Thanks for coming along, folks, especially with your support and optimism. Sara is negotiating with her writing staff at the moment regarding future blogs, but no projects or schedule have been announced. Themes under consideration include Sara's Road to Carnegie Hall, Sara's Path to The White House, and/or Sara's Big Moment in Oslo.

Special thanks to the paparazzi who provided some of the pictures in this blog.
