The Five of Us, Spring 2014
Photo Journal
What do you think of my new baby?!
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I won't say much about these. Obviously, this selection is centered on us and the kids we're adopting. If you want to see some ocean and/or Rock Hill photos, let me know and I'll post some of those too.If you see your precious one in the photo above, let us know and I'll send you a copy of this shot. Pea seemed nervous and scared around us both times we visited (these are all from the second visit--we didn't have our camera the first time! Lucky for us Patty had hers--I'll post those when we get them). But, she was so stuffed and tired, she at least felt comfortable enough to fall asleep on me. What a precious mama-moment for me!
Just LOOK at the mischievious glint in those bright brown eyes! Yikes!
(I know I kinda left you hanging as far as Pence's situation and our visit. For now, I can only say I'm discouraged and confused and having a really bad day in this regard. I might have more to say later; we'll see.)
