A First Anniversary

This might be the cutest picture ever. Look at those smiles!

Today we went to meet Sierra and her mom for lunch to kind of celebrate the one-year anniversary of our first meeting. They hadn't seen Sloane in almost 3 months and after a little rocky start where she burst into tears when we first walked into the restaurant, she was really good, as was Tagg. She chewed on Sierra's necklace, ate a whole piece of corn bread and showed off her new teeth.

It was fun to reminisce about our first meeting and catch up on everything. It's nice to know that a year later, everything still feels so "right."

 It was a beautiful day for January so we walked down to the Starbucks and had a coffee and took some photos to commemorate the event. Amazing to think that just a year ago, we were so full of hope and nerves and today it was like seeing family. We have this joyous, lovely little girl to adore every day and this special relationship.

She finally sleeps.
Good day.

Tagg made the most of the trip...in the water fountain. In January. In his clothes. He had a BALL! I guess I can no longer mock those parents who pack up a cooler and sit and watch their kids play in this fountain in the summer. We did walk straight down to Baby Gap and bought him some new, dry clothes (I'll bet that place makes a fortune off of water fountain-suckers like us). He changed right in the store and we cut the tags off, stuffed his wet clothes in a Gap bag and off we went. The lady was looking at us like we were crazy!

The water damage is done. Tagg's new threads...cute and on sale!
