First Week at Home











We have had a busy and wonderful first week at home!

We have had lots of fun with friends and family meeting Silas and some quiet evenings at home. We are establishing a routine, having fun, and learning a lot - all of us:)

Silas is a sweet boy. He is really having a good time exploring and figuring everything out. He is realizing there are boundaries at home:) though he tries his best to get away with everything:)
He and Lily are very good playmates! It is so fun to see them together. She is also teaching him a lot and very proud to be the big sister. We have spent a lot of time at 3DPT with Daddy too - I am still doing my spin class 6x a week. Silas enjoys his time there playing with balls and taking a water bottle to all of the clients. Everyone has been so kind and supportive of our adoption - we are truly blessed to live in the Siloam Springs community. I am posting a few more pictures and a video of pictures from our trip.

Hope you are well.

Love to all,
lori

It looks like he already feels right at home... what did he think of his new bedroom? Is he sleeping in a big boy bed? does he stay in it?
