Big Weekend

We had a big and busy weekend. Sylas and I went to visit his first family on Saturday. They live about two hours from us. We went and Katie's aunts cooked a large meal for us and then they hosted a little baby shower. It was such a wonderful time! They really made Sylas and I feel welcomed and loved. I never would have dreamed that we would have such a comfortable relationship but we do. I feel like we have another kind of extended family. It really is a blessing. Sylas could never have too many people to love him and I could never have too many people offerring support and friendship. We really are blessed!

Katie, his first mom is doing well. She is still struggling emotionally which is too be expected. But she is reaching out to her social worker, family and friends. She also feels comfortable talking to me about her feelings which I really appreciate. While Katie may be struggling some emotionally she is doing great physically. She looked so beautiful on Saturday! She has already lost 45 pounds and says she is feeling good. I'm so thankful for that.

So here are some fun pics of the weekend.

Sylas and his beautiful Katie!


Sylas with his biological sister Amara. I think they look a lot alike.


And my very adored boy! I just love him!!!
