Well we have a super busy weekend planned. Tomorrow morning we are having the kids picture taken with Santa and our family is having a holiday portrait made. Jeremy and some others from our church are doing a fund raiser for their trip to Costa Rica this summer. After pictures I have to run back to Wal-Mart and pick up Emma's cake and some Whit's BBQ for Emma's party. I put up some of the decorations tonight and my mom is going to clean up the house while we are getting the pictures made. So, tomorrow will be a long day. On Sunday we are having Chloe's baby dedication at church since my family will be in town. Well I guess I better get some sleep while the kids are sleeping. I will have plenty of pictures from the weekend to share Sunday night or Monday.

Sorry no pictures to post tonight, but I did want to give a quick update of the day. Well my parents got in last night and I was very nervous about Chloe's response to them. I felt like it would be the first test to how she is adjusting. When my parents got here she smiled at them but she clung to me for dear life. After a few hours she started to loosen up a little. I was making supper so I had to put her down and my mom was standing up so Chloe went to her and reached for her. My mom picked her up but she made sure she knew where I was at all times. My mom held her for a few minutes and then Chloe reached for me. This is how it went all night. She let my dad hold her for a few minutes but then she wanted down and came back to me. She was still all about momma so I was pleased. She woke up this morning and was VERY clingy to me. I guess when she saw that my mom was still here she may have been afraid that she would once again be changing families. It is very sad all the emotional trauma adoptive kids have to live through. Even as babies they get passed from one person to the next. It has to be frightening for them. We went to a few stores today. I had to get some groceries. I tried to get enough to last the next week. I am having all my dental work done on Tuesday and I am not real sure how I will be feeling. we also went out to eat for the first time with three kids. Chloe did really good. She sat in a high chair and ate whatever I put in front of her. She did not fuss at all. Jeremy and I did realize that we will not be eating out much. It is a lot of work getting all three kids down to eat and keeping them somewhat calm. We had help with them tonight and it was still a little unnerving.
