She's walking!!

She went from only a few steps around Christmas to this! We're having so much fun...Please don't take this the wrong way, but I feel like a little girl who finally got that puppy she's always wanted...I just love her SOOOOO much!



Normally, she must be the one to throw the diaper away, flip the lever, and close the door...guess she was camera shy.

Much love,

Some favorites from Christmas

Love to all,

We're HOME ! ! !

Here's some pics from the airport. Sorry for the delay in posting...I'm learning this whole Mom thing...when I'm not holding, loving, kissing, feeding, bathing, changing, playing with, reading to, and just plain staring at Sophie, I'm trying to dust, vacuum, clean bathrooms - yikes!, scoop poop - we have a kitty, pay bills, check e-mails, send e-mails, separate the laundry, actually put the laundry IN the washing machine - yes, I've washed a few loads of water, put the laundry in the dryer, get the laudry out with less than 3 restarts to avoid wrinkles, actually put away the laundry, make phone calls, etc. etc....

Very special thanks to those at the airport! As Barry said, "it's our delivery room" and it meant so much to us that you were there to welcome Sophie to the family. We'll never forget that day!


Katelyn, the youngest addition to the family.


The Clan...


Aunt Vicki, with Tristan and Gracie (4 years old the day we came home).


Rilyn, Ryan, Mandy (Thanks for the pics!), Mike, and Kelly.


Nana, Aunt Rhonda, Nana...she has lots of Nana's!!


Jack and Ava and ... The wait is over...


Barry and I put on our chinese shirts and put Sophie in Red, White, and Blue!


Flags everywhere!


I think Jack talked about Sophie coming home as much as I did.


Ava was very cautious and gentle.


The first grins were for Uncle Eric.


Aunt Tracey and cousin Jeni.


Nana...Mommy's Mom.


Another Nana...Daddy's Mom.


Papa...yep, she's got a couple of those, too!

First car seat...she screamed for 15 minutes - I'm deaf in my right ear now.
