I saw Lilly first thing this morning.

She woke us up by ringing the doorbell over and over and over again, in perfect Lilly style. I don't think I stopped smiling the whole time they were here.

Avery and Angel and Lilly played like maniacs.

It's like little tornadoes running through your house. Art came home to get some stuff and when Lilly saw him she just lit up like a Christmas tree. (Art was just a bit more than happy to see her too). We went to McDonald's for lunch and the kids played even more and she eventually got cranky and tired and while new mama went to get her milk she just laid her head on my shoulder while I sang her her baby song and we just cuddled and I just cried and we knew. We just knew that we love each other and always, always will. When she left with new mama, she went fine. And my heart was full.

BTW, I was too busy just being thrilled to have them all here, so believe it or not, I, the queen of pictures, forgot to take pictures!

But, they will be here a week, I will get some next time!

to what Chrissy said. I too believe you guys have gained a whole new family and that is just wonderful.

I am so excited that you all got to see each other and everyone had a great time.

She'll be around for the week? That is awesome!!!!
I bet you and Art will be on cloud 9 all week long.

Me too! We were talking about that this morning. We can't figure out why people wouldn't WANT to stay together after stuff like this. I mean, it's not like you can ever have too many people that love your kids!

I am blessed. It is like gaining a whole new family. And we are grateful.

Bittersweet! Please post pics next time. I see what you mean though. How amazing that you've basically gained another family. God does know what he's doing.

Sounds like an amazing visit! How reassuring to be able to see her & share in her life. This sounds like it is helping your heart to heal.
