DEVYN DAY!!!!!

I love the way Julia is looking at Devyn in this picture! I think it's my favorite from the whole day.:)

Wow, what a day! I woke up around 7 am and hit the floor running. It seemed like there was so much to do before we had to head to the airport at 2, and I guess there was as we barely made it to the airport on time. Nothing like cutting it close but we were there just about 5 minutes before they came through the gate. She smiled when she us, took the teddy bear that Julia had for her and told me "look I got it" I was not expecting a full sentence from her, though I think that is her favorite saying at the moment after listening to her the rest of the night.

Big sister did great and was very attentive and so excited to show Devyn all of her new things. We came home and the caseworkers came over, yes we have two, signed some papers and talked for a bit. They left and we got dinner. That was interesting, Ms. Julia was getting tired and decided to take dinner time to test the waters on how much she might get away with attitude wise. sigh. Needless to say, dinner took awhile. Then we finally got to have cake. As you can see from the pictures, Devyn is not the neat little eater that Julia has always been. Polar opposite in that regard! And she is very independent so that makes it even more interesting.

Bath time was next and that was a little rough for little one. She was not really thrilled with it at all, but we got through it and then she snuggled with Daddy for just a little bit. Then we traded and he bathed Julia while I lotioned little one and got the pj's on. Once she was dressed again, off she went. She does NOT sit still unless strapped in! HOLY COW is she busy!! Of course, she had a lot to take in. Bed time was a bit sad, she cried when I laid her down, but calmed when I sat next to the crib and sang to her for a bit. So I thought I'd sneak out and see how she did, nope had to go back. That time she took my hand through the rails and put it on the top of her head, while she was laying down, so that I would rub her head and she went back out this way. Again with a song to calm her down. Guess it's a good thing both girls like my voice! haha. So that's where we are at. Here's hoping she doesn't have too rough of a night, she has had a very long day.

Julia did really well at bedtime and aside from protesting at dinner has been really, really good all day! I'm so very proud of her. I'm only posting a couple of pics on here. I'm way too tired to do more tonight, so I'll link you to dropshots here. Make sure you click the word "here" where it's highlighted otherwise at dropshots you may not find the pics. We did end up having to use the old camera, which explains the poor quality, and for some reason the time-date-stamp reads 2002. So the pics are under 2002 on dropshots. Crazy.
