A Happy House again!

Home Sweet Home!

When Karlee was born she was given this little Elmo doll from her birthmom. Karlee has fallen in love with him and has slept almost every night of her life with him. A couple months ago (October or early November) it was bedtime and there was no Elmo. We looked everywhere. Luckily Karlee is not attached to things to the point where she gets upset or cries, she was just concerned that Elmo was missing. Karlee went to bed, and was fine. We told her that we would look for Elmo and that we would find him.

.

We looked EVERYWHERE, we retraced our steps, we asked family members to search their homes, to no avail still no Elmo. Karlee would asked at bedtime and periodically throughout the day where Elmo and we just didn't have an answer for her. We just felt horrible! Horrible because this was a gift (keepsake) from her birthmom, and something we wanted Karlee to have as she grew up.

.

Karlee stopped asking for Elmo, but we kept looking. On Sunday night as we were going through our nightly bedtime routine, Karlee asked where Elmo was - we told her that we were still looking. I had a thought come to me and asked Rob if he would go and check under our bed. We had both looked there many times before, but he went and looked. And to our great SURPRISE..... he found ELMO!!!! Honestly not sure who was more excited to see Elmo, Karlee or her dad. Rob can't stop talking about being able to find Elmo and how good it is to see Elmo being carried around by Karlee.

So we are a happy house again. Elmo has been found!!!

One Happy Girl!!!
