First Morning With Piper and First Bath


These are some pictures from our time in Texas. The first few were from the first morning we had her and the second group of pictures are from when we gave her her first bath! We didn't have a little tub for her so she was first in line to get washed before we did the dinner dishes :)

Piper's Homecoming

She is HOME! We are so excited to be back in Georgia as a family! Piper and I flew in on Thursday late afternoon and were greeted by my mother, Clay, Miller and Charlie. Man those boys grew up while I was gone. I was gone a week and that was the longest I had ever been away from them. They looked like giants compared to little Piper. I missed them so much and it was so great reuniting with them. On the way back from the airport, Piper was stuck in between the boys. Ha. They couldn't keep their big chubby hands off of her. They wanted to touch her hands, or her face, or her eyeballs, or really just anything on her. There were definitely some tears shed when Momma and Daddy had to get on them about needing to be gentle with her. Though it was a little tough coming home, ever since we have been home, they have been great with her. They actually act like she isn't even here at all. Every now and then they will go over and have a look, but mostly just go on with life as usual... being rough, rowdy little boys!

When we arrived home from the airport we had all of Clay's family there to greet us... Here are the pics!























Later on that night, the McCleskey's had to come meet Piper too...







Fisher was oh so excited to meet his future girlfriend :)

Pumpkin Patch in Texas!

When we were in Texas getting little Piper, we had the pleasure of being able to stay with my roommate from college Peyton, and her husband Logan. This was the HUGEST blessing because having to pay for a hotel on top of the adoption would have been tough. We were so thankful to them to have us on such short notice! Thanks again guys...

The night before Piper and I got to go home, we headed to the pumpkin patch for some fall fun! Here are some pics from our time there... (excuse Pipers 4th of July outfit... with short notice you don't have a lot of options)
