I DO... I DIDN'T???




Well, tomorrow is the day that the California Supreme Court Makes a decision on Gay Marriage.  I really hope they realize that this is an Equal Rights issue, not a religious issue!  Wish us Luck!!!

Sleeping, eating and pooping. Now she coos!

Averi has turned the cuteness factor up a notch with the recent addition of cooing and smiling. Melts her papa's heart!
And Adds is being the protective big sister already. At a b'day party yesterday, a friend carried Averi away to show to some other moms when Addison followed her crying with arms outstretched wanting Averi returned. It was such an adorable sight.
Addison starts preschool in a month or so. She is so excited; as are we. Our next challenge is getting her birthday party planned. More to follow soon.

Whoa! What a ride.




Well its been a busy time as you can well imagine. Averi has been growing well and Addison has been an angel!
We have all been adjusting to the new routine 0f our latest addition. Last night, Averi gave us a wonderful gift. She slept 8 hours (from 9pm to 5am) straight through at 2 months old! Even if it was a fluke, it was welcomed. Today, we are going to try to do everything the same as yesterday. We're even wearing the same clothes - in hope of a repeat!
Averi's biological mother requested a meeting with Averi last week. As nervous as we were, things went very well. Mom thanked us (through an intermediary, since we are doing this adoption as a 'closed' process) for taking care of her. It looks as though there won't be any snags (at least with her mom) as we move forward.
Its a beautiful day in San Francisco and we are off on an urban hike. The weather has been spectacular for the past few days and we are enjoying every moment. Off we go.
