Graycen's Big Day

4 wonderfully blessed years....

Four years ago we welcomed our sweet baby girl to the world.... What an amazing day and what an amazing four years. She is growing up so fast - Oh how I wish I could just freeze time - she is absolutely LOVING her new role as big sister. She tried soccer this year and had a blast at ballet camp earlier this month. She was adorable in her little ballerina outfits. We absolutely LOVE this little girl!!

Hello Kitty!

Here are a few more pictures from Graycen's birthday party....

Checking in.....

We thought we had better give an update after our first week home with Hattie. She truly is a blessing from God and has adjusted amazingly well. She is running all over our house, chasing after her brothers and sister, eating like a champ and sleeping so well. She is more comfortable in her surroundings, but is still not doing that great with the word "no" :) Because of her age, discipline pretty much starts at day one, is really tricky because of the attachment issues, but is definitely necessary because she is into everything. We had a fun little party with family and a few friends this weekend to celebrate Graycen's birthday and Hattie did great.... As you can see from the pictures she enjoyed herself.... ( still having issues with uploading pics - just click on the pic to see the whole thing)

Home at last

We got home Friday night or more specifically Saturday morning at 1:30am...but the journey is finally over. Hattie is officially ours, officially a US citizen, and officially home to stay. Connor, Spencer and Graycen love their sister. Thanks to everyone who came to welcome us so late at the airport. It is amazing how well Hattie has adjusted to her new surroundings and new family. She has slept pretty well and is fairly adjusted to the time change already as well.

Still waiting.....

3 more hours until our flight - just passing the time by snuggling and laughing with daddy....
