Happy Easter!!

Playdate with Cullen

Oh, a week in review wouldn't be complete without pictures of Ellie and Cullen's first playdate. :)

Settling In

Things are going very well here on the homefront! Ellie is a delight, and her big sister is excellent with her. It's been a week since we got home, and we couldn't be happier. :)

Tyler

One of my "friends in adoption"- Jodie's son, Tyler was recently diagnosed with Lukemia. Another friend is hosting an online Tupperware party to help raise money for the family. If you are intersted please click here. She is going to be extending the date. Thanks!

Feel free to pass this along to your friends and/or link it to your blog!

Sweet Saturday

We all seem to be adjusting quite well to Ellie. Big sister Gabi can't get enough of her. She is constantly hugging and kissing her. When big sister Nicki is over, forget about trying to get your hands on her! Many friends and family have come to welcome our little miracle. I know I need to clean up my blog, my emails, and my house. These are all things that can wait, as I enjoy every second possible of life with my girls (and my guy) ;)

With all of the excitement at both our houses, Ellie and Cullen haven't even met! God willing, we will be heading over there tomorrow. Look for pics to follow.......

Looks Like We Made It!!!

I keep playing that one phrase of that song in my head. "Looks like we made it, look how far we've come...we might have took the long way, but we knew we'd get there someday" I know its about a romantic love, but it also feels quite appropriate for today. We arrived home, safe and sound, from Indiana at about 10:30pm. It feels good to be home!!!

I am sooooo filled with happiness. I just may bust. In one of life's most surprising of twists, turns, and miracles my dearest friend Sue, (who has been keeping you updated on my blog) welcomed home her son today!!!

I am still not able to comprehend the magnitude of this. Our girls are two months apart. That was awesome. And now, Ellie and Cullen are 5 days apart! We can't wait to meet you, little guy!

Praise God!!!!

Oh Happy Day!!!!

Just look at that face. Is she not just to die for!!!



Well now Teri and Howie are offically her parents. Well....almost. "A" signed the papers this morning before her discharge. Attorneys are faxing paperwork back to the hospital so that Ellie can be discharged (hopefully tonight) to her new Mommy and Daddy. Which means that if all goes as planned, they could be on their way back home as soon as Wednesday. They don't have computer access at the hospital and the access from the hotel is spotty and limited. So I am just popping on for Teri to give a quick update that all is well and Ellie is THEIRS!!!!!


Nicki will also be arriving this evening and coming home with them. Oh boy is Howie out numbered now.


More from Teri tonight or tomorrow.
