Most Random Group of Pictures EVER:)

Yes, I realize these pictures are in no order whatsoever and I don't care...my goal is to post them and that is it:) Things on the home front are looking up! This is great news...the days that really stank were Thursday and Friday, but we got through them and the days since then have gotten 100% better....I talked with the family therapist from the International Adoption Clinic about the sleeping which was probably our biggest issue and got a wealth of good info and tips from her and last night was soo much better...everyone slept and so today got a good start because we were well rested! Alice is hilarious and her personality is very comical....I know that we do not know her but the glimpses that we are seeing make us want to know more. Lucy is doing a little better...she is sharing and welcomes Alice to sit with us and doesn't mind sharing my lap...Alice isn't so sure about sharing but she is getting there. I am able to tell her "i am going to the bathroom and I will be right back" and she is good with that and nods yes. We got the tree put up and decided to only do the kids tree this year to simplify and I think that was a good decision:) They had so much fun doing the ornaments....thanks to the families that have brought dinner to us so far...even though it is different than birthing a baby, your mind is mush, just the same and it is nice not to have to think about meal planning. Everything has been delicious and we love you for it:) Ok, now, here for the pictures which is what you probably are wanting anyway;)
