Amazing

The love that we have for Alena is just overwhelming. It's so hard to describe. Her and Sophia are both napping right now (everyone ended up with a cold/cough) and I just sat here thinking a bit! You know the feeling you have when you give birth and they place the baby on your chest? That's the same feeling I had when her nannie placed her in my arms. I feel like she was born to us.When I held her for that first moment, it felt like I already knew her and I kissed her on her sweet little lips.It's just amazing how you're willing to eat the Cheerios that they've just taken out of their mouth and offered to you the day they become part of your family. She is definetely our baby and I just don't see how she could have fit so perfect with any other family.

We had a very nice weekend. George took us three girls out to dinner Saturday night. Mom was waiting for a new couch to be delivered and Fred had been out running all day and just stayed home to relax. Alena was as nosey as she usually is when we go out to eat. She turns around in her highchair and stares at everyone! Too funny. She was gaining a lot of attention!

Jeff & Kirstyn and the kids visited on Sunday. The kids are getting so big and are just too cute. Sophia always enjoys seeing Averey. Then we were off to Aunt Chrissy's for Aunt K's birthday! We love Chris & Joe's new house and had a very nice time. Sophia took advantage of the family gathering to sell Girl Scout cookies!! : ) Thanks everyone!

Well, they should be awake soon and Sophia wants to go get her haircut!
Love,
