Finally Ours

So, I'm tired and just edited a bazillion photos from Awana Awards so this is going to be brief. Yes, I'm as glad as you are about that!

Since I didn't post yesterday, I just thought I'd share quick that we got ripped up on a taxi ride Monday night to go to the Hilton where we got ripped off again but had an AMAZING meal and got to check our email. And hung out with Shonda and Travis. It was a good and fun night.

We took custody of Judah one year ago today. A few highs and lows were thrown in the mix on custody-day:

• Pooped through his outfit before we got him into the hotel



• Did NOT like his first bath. I would so post the video of his screaming if it wouldn't be considered porn.



• Did not like the toy taken out of his hand before said bath.



• Conked out after said bath and momma left to go shopping. Get used to it son, there will be many a naps when momma will sneak out while daddy tends to you and your siblings.



• Embassy appointment. No fun. Not so intimidating. At least not what I remember a year later.



• This is when I got home-sick. Judah was ours and I just wanted to get him home to his siblings who I suddenly missed so much my heart ached.



• I think it was this day that we gathered in Kerry's room. Judah was sitting in Travis' lap and had a blowout. Travis smelled the stink and gave Judah back. I took him to get cleaned up. Some time later we met downstairs for supper. It was then that we all noticed that Judah's blow out decorated Travis' shorts. He's a bit of a germophobe and rushed right upstairs to change. I laughed a lot and it's still stinkin' hilarious a year later!



• He didn't go to bed perfectly that night but it wasn't miserable either.

So, with the end of Tuesday we basically had 2 full days before going home. My how, those would drag out! Thankfully I was in good company of my rockin' travel group.
