Oh yes she is....happy to be HOME!
















Just a few pics for those of you who have called and emailed about WHY I haven't posted pics :)





We're all getting to know each other and resting well. We did get the Melatonin and it worked great the first night (natural sleep aid), so we're going to stay on it for about a week. Mama is still pretty worn out, but hanging in there. Thanks to those who have brought meals....it is a LIFESAVER not to have to get something together when your body is telling you it's 5am and not 5pm!





We had a very good Dr's appointment this afternoon and i'll post more about that later. Here's the pics while I still have the two little ones asleep!

Whew! These adorable pics came just in time. I have been having some terrible update withdrawals. I have had my hand on the phone twice today to call and check on you. I know better...but the self control has been wearing thin. Thanks for updating. Wish I had known about that natural sleep aid when we were at that point. I say go for it. Luv the T-shirt! I am joy so thrilled for you guys! My heart is overflowing as I praise the Lord with you. Can't wait to hear about the Dr's appt. See? I just can't get enough! Jeepers!

Oh my goodness- she is so cute! I am so glad to see that big grin on her face. what a blessing! We are praying you quickly recover from your trip very soon. I so hate being tired b/c it makes you be at your last nerve all day. This is good for me to see b/c Travis goes to China for business in a week and this helps me to know that when he gets home he will be out of commission for a while! I can't wait to hear about family dynamics. What do the other girls think of Ashley? What does she think of her new sisters? Have a great night!

Oh that smile...I love it. You can never get enough of that I'm sure. :)

Praying everyone continues to adjust well.

Do you remember way back posting the referral picture that looked like one of your other girls (sorry I can't remember which one)? Anyway, it is just so funny b/c her smile looks just like y'alls and I just love when God shows off in the little details and the big ones too! MEALS are awesome!

Allison said...

Yay! More pics! Thanks for posting those. Hang in there--jet lag IS killer. I remember feeling like an absolute zombie for 4 days straight--so tired I just wanted to cry! And I was single and had no kids to take care of! I'm sure it's multiplied for you. I remember finally feeling like myself again by the 5th day or so. Since that's Wed for you, I hope the same is true for you! :)

Allison said...

Oh my goodness...soooooo cute!!! Call me when you can!

What a darling!
I can't stop smiling looking at her. It has been wonderful to follow along with your family. If we lived closer I'd bring you a pound cake- good breakfast at 3 AM ;)
I appreciate your honesty about the flights. Can't imagine, really.
Thank you for sharing the photos and hope you are grabbing naps at least.

Emily, Ashley looks like she's adjusting so well. What a beautiful smile. We're going through the same early morning stuff. I, too, made scrambled eggs at 3 am one day this week. Jay left for NC on Sunday morning, so I've been single-parenting it since then. Be glad you got your man there! Take care, Petrie

I missed meeting her Sunday morning, due to my alarm didn't go off! I was so disappointed to have missed Tom Eliff & Ashley! Then I heard Jay say that Avery was sick with strep and you wouldn't be there Wed. night. :( I soooo want to lay eyes on that precious child!

Please tell me how the girls did meeting one another. Thanks for the pictures!

Congratulations on making it home with your daughter! Ashley is super cute. I hope the jet lag gets better soon. I've never done it with kids. That's wild!
