Back from visit with Pictures of Layla
We returned home a couple of days ago from a wonderful visit with our little Layla! She is absolutely beautiful and so tiny yet. She was 8 weeks when we were there and weighed 7lbs 9 0z. Both my bio kids were bigger than that when they were born! We had an awesome time and met some wonderful families at the Marriott. This is my 3rd adoption and I had forgotten the terrible pain of leaving them after a visit.. I miss her so bad it hurts. I am posting a couple of my favorite pictures!

She is just beautiful - funny thing, though. We talked to you several times at the Marriott when we were on our visit trip and I didn't even know it was you!
Congrats!
