You know you want some pictures!

I am overwhelmed at the sweet comments and thank you all for being so supportive and wonderful during this process. Benjamin is an amazing baby so far, very sweet and easy going. He loves being held and hanging out in his sling, and he's sleeping in 3-hour stretches and eating like a champ. We have cleared Interstate Compact in Kansas and are just waiting for Texas to do their part so we can come home. Our lawyer thinks that it will probably extend after the Labor Day holiday, but we're enjoying this bonding time with him. We're staying in an extended-stay hotel and the staff has been wonderful. Wichita is actually a beautiful city and the weather is so lovely here. Can you believe we ate outside last night?

OK, now on to some pictures!



This is the first night we met him. Forgive how exhausted I look, we had been on the road for 12 hours at this point.









Here's our sweet boy!
