Both of the girls are sleeping soundly after a busy day. We were up early to get on the road to Mikayla. The ride went quickly, yet long, sounds weird I know. We wanted to get to Mikayla but of course there was that nervousness in the back of our minds, the what if. Right as we walked in the door of the foster families house the phone began to ring. The social worker gave the word that everything was done and Mikayla was ours!! I think Bill and I both breathed a sigh of relief, what an exciting phone call to get. We spent some time hanging out at in our hotel room, then we went out to eat as a family, ran to the store to grab a few things for both girls and then it was back to the hotel. Jennifer of course wanted to go swimming so she even got to do that today. A sister and swimming in the same day, life is good for J! After an exciting and busy day our girls are sleeping soundly. What a great feeling to have us all together at last, it may be a hotel room but at least we are together, as a family for the first night.
Our first pictures together as a forever family!!
Jennifer enjoying some swim time with dad! She loves swimming, it is very fun to watch her. She of course thought Mikayla should swim as well!
Our first night with Mikayla! She is sleeping so soundly, it is great to finally get to put her to bed!
Hope you all sleep well tonight, even if we don't get much sleep it will be a great night...
