Happy New Year!

It's a new year...hello 2008!! Since it's a new year and we have a new baby at home, I thought it would be appropriate to have a new blog. Our journey to Macey Leigh is complete! Now we just have to find the new rhythm to our family and have fun together as a family of 4!

We arrived back from China on 12/30 and that night we had a special visit from Santa Claus. It was Macey's first Christmas and we wanted to celebrate together with Lena so we postponed everything until we got back. Here are a few gift opening photos on New Year's Eve morning:












We went to Grammy's for lunch and did more gift opening with then. While we were there Kevin's brother Kenny proposed to his long-time girlfriend Jenni - YIPPEE!!! We love her and are so glad she'll be joining the family. What a great Christmas - we added Macey & Jenni!! Here is the happy couple:


We came home and napped a while and then went back across the street to Grammy's to celebrate the coming of a new year! Macey & Lena were quite the party girls! Check them out celebrating the arrival of 2008:






We came home & to bed around 10 p.m. We just couldn't hang in there until midnight. Maybe next year! Happy New Year everyone!

Donna- I am so happy to see the girls together. I read many of the responses to the post on adusting- Meison and Gracyn are only 8 months apart and I expect some "adjustment time"- but I loved many of the ideas. I hope your job interview went well. I am waiting to hear back on one I went on recently as well.

I love the photos! The girls look like the sisters that they have become--how wonderful!

I have to wonder though about Macey experiencing Christmas so quickly! What is she thinking??? Jack's first holiday was Halloween! I think I would have preferred Christmas!

Keep posting; I love to live vicariously and my sister's adoption is taking way too long!!!! with an LID of 8/2006.
