Visiting Family for the Summer

My brother drove down from Oklahoma with his kids to stay for a few days. My mom is going to watch his kids while he converts his garage back home. He has a two year old and a nine month old. We had them all over for dinner the other night. My house was alive with four children (my sister’s two and my brother’s two). It was a little preview of what Christmas is going to be like this year with five children! We are so happy that we are going to be able to share our little girl with such wonderful children! My sister’s two didn’t quite know what to make of their cousins (whom they have never met before now). It was cute how they were so unsure of themselves and very jealous of the attention their mommy was giving to the baby. Briefly, we had concerns about how they will react with Saiya coming into our lives, but my sister has assured us that because we have involved them in this adoption every step of the way that they will be fine. They have drawn pictures for her (which we sent in the care packages) and helped decorate her room and pick out clothes. I think sometimes, they are just as excited as we are to have her coming home.

A little less than two months to go!!!!
