Special visitors

This morning our good friends, Rich and Megan and their sons who are 2 and 5 came over to visit and brought us breakfast...(Thanks, yo!) and we all got to hang out. Because they've adopted their boys, they understand our journey to Katelyn at a whole different level and it was so awesome after all this time to have them with us and to have Katelyn home. They've been through the waiting, the frustration, the sadness and this morning we rejoiced. Their boys are awesome and seeing that has always helped us to remember that there's a light at the end of the tunnel and the wait is always worth it once your child is home.

Katelyn's favorite thing to do is blow rasberries. I just wish she wouldn't do it with food in her mouth. Hee hee. Gross.I purreed some boiled chicken breast, broth and egg noodles for lunch and Katelyn tried peas for the first time...she loved it all. Such a good eater.
This afternoon Brandon and Ashley came over to meet their new sister. They thought she was so cute. They sat on the floor with us and played with her. She started warming up as the afternoon went on. I think they'll all be great with each other as they get to know one another. I'm sure it will be an adjustment for everyone. We hung out on the patio eating popsicles.
Daddy let Katelyn taste his...no sugar Daddy, gosh! (Says the mommy.)
Katelyn slept from 7:30-11pm last night. Was wide awake and ready to play from 11-1:30 am and then slept from 1:30 - 5am and then was up for the day. We've limited her naps today and are hoping she'll sleep better tonight. We really all need a good night's sleep!!!
