We are here in Idaho right now...have been since Saturday evening. So far the previous FP's have been very gracious to us and it has gone VERY well We are going bowling tonight and tomorrow we'll be visiting until we have to get packed for our trip to WA state to visit relatives. I was worried about it all causing issues but it has actually brought us all together as an extended family and it feels good for our niece (her seeing we can all get along and have fun!)...

Our niece is having some issues with it (minor ones) and got upset yesterday and we talked about it. I know it's confusing for her. As long as she can talk to us about it all then it will help. She said to us yesterday "It feels like they are visiting us and we're not visiting them." I'm not sure what that means however she seems to be taking it better then we expected.
