Quick update: Luggage arrived 12am this morning...we got barely any sleep but had everything just in time to make our 8 am appointment. (also I hear the lack of sleep was good preparation) Obviously less than ideal but it worked out and today we met Sebastian. Yesterday's problems seem to disappear.
If you can believe it he is even sweeter and more adorable in person. We both are completely enamored. He has a great personality, loves to play and has a heart-warming laugh. We we so nervous as we signed papers and met with the foster mom (who is such a dear person and you could tell she really loved Sebastian). Once he was in our arms everything changed. The day has been full of adventure and precious moments. Mom and Dad are proving to be a good team enjoying the little, and making it through day one without too much drama.
Standby for more pictures we are creating a picasa album...will be up soon
OMG! I love him! He is so sweet looking! You both look so amazingly excited & happy. I'm so glad they got a picture of you meeting him. I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures and seeing him smile & laugh. What a wonderful, wonderful day. I love you all! Give Sebastian kisses from his new Grammie.

ReplyDeleteHe's so small and round and cute - he looks like something Super Mario would jump on to get special powers.

ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about you ALL weekend. Thank you so much for sharing these pictures. I love the picture of you meeting Sebastian for the first time. Congratulations to all of you! Sending lots of love from Boston...Courtney and Eric.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you that I don't even know what to say...I'm tearing up at the random email kiosk, which is sort of embarrassing. I might explain your adoption to a series of random strangers right now.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got your luggage, but even more happy you got your hands on your munchkin. I love the photo with his mom and also the one with him looking in awe at whatever Greg is showing him--already impressed by his dad!
Love to you both,
LIz
