Home!

Going home!

Finally, finally, finally I get to go home. Finally! I have a plane ticket for 10 am tomorrow morning. I have been in FL for 3 weeks. 

Still in FL

Henry and T flew home Thursday after being here two weeks. Henry needed to go back home and to school. He was falling apart in the hotel room. 

ICPC is taking forever. It's still goong to be 3 or 4 more days. The person who looks at the paperwork is on extended sick leave and they are incredibly behind. 

Luckily my parents are in FL and I rented a car and drove 4 hours with Violet to their apartment to stay. No hotel fee here, and good help with the baby. 

Violet is doing great. 

I want to be home so much. Not being there is killing me. I didn't expect our family to be apart like this. It is so hard. 

Visit

We visited with CC, Henry's birth mom, today. It was a great day. H was hesitant at first but warmed up quickly. He gave her a flower and wanted to show her everything and play with her. He wouldn't give her a hug, but he was happy to see her. He knew she was special to him. 

When I showed him Violet's ultrasounds before she was born, he wanted to know if there were any if him. I never got any, but I told him he could ask CC when we saw her. Guess who remembered to ask today. Henry amazes me all the time. 

So glad we got this time together. 

Here are the kids again. Henry asked to hold Violet every morning so far. 

She is with us

Papers signed. Here, I will call her Violet. Feel free to email for her real name. 

Henry is over the moon. 

Born

She was born today. I watched the whole thing. 

Consents to be signed on Monday.
