We did it!

Hey everyone-
Hope you like all the great pics. After those first couple of days things really started to get better for all of us. Most importantly, Emily is sleeping through the night and soothing herself to sleep so that is fabulous for all involved!
The girls are getting used to each other, too. We celebrated both girl's birthdays the other morning with cupcakes and dora hats! It was great fun!
We've also spent time at ChuckECheese (keeping Emily awake to get over her jetlag!), outside at the park (she loves the slide and the swings just like her big sister!), and of course, our favorite pasttime--- shopping!!!!!
More good news- Emily is no longer afraid of Zoe the dog! Yippee! She actually grabs her and pets her now! (Well, okay, it's more like she grabs her and pulls all her hair out... but we're working on it!)
Daddy will be home Friday early evening, so that will be nice to have the whole weekend with him home! Shirley and Jen are leaving for home Friday morning. It's been such a huge blessing to me to have them both here to help with everything. I'm still not sure how I'm supposed to cook dinner, bathe the kids, and keep my sanity once they are gone! Guess that's why God made Daddy's!!!!

Chris and Carrie -
I am so happy for you to be finally sharing similar joy as we did - if not more joy for you since it was such an incredibly difficult journey to bring your Emily home! Words cannot express my happiness for you. Thanks for sharing pics with us blog addicts!
