Our weekend in pictures

Anna thorougly enjoyed the hotel pool!  She just loves the water!

She most enjoyed the stairs because she could stand by herself.

We went on a picnic at Starved Rock.  Anna was fascinated by the giant leaves!

And the cardboard box...

Time with daddy!

Time with mommy!

Anna and her caseworker

Our family and the foster family that took care of her before we got her!  This was at the National Adoption Month Potluck. 

Anna and Katie had a blast playing together.  Since Anna didn't have a name when they got her, they just give the babies a name until they go to their adoptive families.  Katie and her friends combined all of their names to create Anna's name.  It was "Angelicity" while she was with them and they called her Angie for short.

Anna and her buddy Jim, she was one of his favorite babies that they've had, and they've now had 25.  Anna was number 21.  They had Anna longer than they usually have the babies, and she was such a good baby that they became very attached.  He was so delighted to see her and spend time with us!

Busy weekend!

So I've had a lot of people ask why I haven't posted pictures in a while on FB and here.  My answer, I'm just busy and it takes some time to get them all loaded off the camera, loaded onto FB or here, written about, etc...  And I thought maybe people were sick of the mass amounts of pictures, but apparently Anna's just so cute everyone wants to look at her :-)  But after this weekend, things should settle down to a more normal routine.

Last week I started again watching the 4 month old that I had been watching before Anna came to us.  Things went very well with the two of them, they're both excellent babies!  It was fun to watch them interact in the little way they can at this age and it was very fun to see how they handled the sharing of my attention, as they both are first babies and get plenty of attention!  They were wonderful and we had a very fun week!

This weekend, Anna got to meet her Uncle Joey for the first time!  He came home and we got to hang out with the family for a while on Saturday.  I also baby-sat Raine and Jade on Saturday evening at our home and Anna LOVED them, she watched them the whole time and wouldn't take her eyes off of Jade!  That's a great thing, cause I'm watching them all summer!

On Sunday we had our family baby shower.  My aunts, cousins, grandma, and Jeremy's aunts, counsins, great-aunts, and more came to see Anna and we had a lot of fun!  It was great to see everyone and Anna was perfect through the whole thing!  This child sure loves a crowd, as long as she's in my arms watching the crowd...  She gets a little upset when she's awake and in someone else's arms watching the crowd! 

We got some fun new things, and we got some gift cards and coincidentally enough, the things I was purchasing with them are on sale for today only!  Score!! 

So here are a few pictures of what we've been up to!
