Hannah is home!
We got back home Wednesday afternoon and have just been in a whirlwind of visiting family and friends. This has been my first chance to sit down at the computer and let me tell you, this is one busy forum. I can't beleive how many posts occur in just one week. It took forever just to get through them.
We flew down last Friday and were able to get Hannah that afternoon. She attached herself to us very quickly and has just been an angle. We stayed at the Marriott and were able to enjoy the long weekend together as a family. We met so many wonderful people either vitising or picking up their children, and truely enjoyed meeting other forum members: s.seidelman, tatch, openarms and many others. Our agency was in their best form as they fumbled their way through the end of our trip. That is a whole other story, but the bottom line is DON'T USE OUR AGENCY!! PM me if you need the details. We are so happy to have Hannah in our lives and are enjoying our time together. She sleeps for about 9 hours every night, takes about two naps, and has a healthy appetite. She will be 11 months old on Tuesday and is 27 inches tall and 16 1/2 lbs. It is great to finally have a baby in the baby's room and to have her play with all of her toys. This has been a horrible, emotional rollercoaster, and now that we are home the wonderful emotions are the ones that fill our house. Ed, Shelly and HANNAH!!!

Welcome home Hannah!!! I am so happy for your family.
And I am so jealous  that you got to spend time in GC with my dear dear friend openarms and lovely Luz Clarita. We were hoping our trips would magically overlap but it didn't happen. Can't wait to see pictures!!
