Stolen luggage, Ear infection, and Happy Homecoming!

Just a few minutes ago....right after my bath

My daddy loves this face I make when I say DADADA!
This is my friend, Mary Archer's mommy, Gina. We can't wait for Mary Archer to be home from Guatemala. Please pray that her DNA is done soon!
I made a mess with my cereal tonight. I loved to squish it all in between my fingers!

Is it a bunny rabbit or Anne Pearce?

I love my Paw-Paw, and he is CRAZY about me!


Me and Daddy at my first drs. visit. She was blown away by how marvelous I am, of course!

This is my aunt Lee Lee. She kept getting all my sugar.....

Look at my cute 4th of July outfit! Thanks Carolyn and Olivia!

This is pretty much what we do all day.....just sit around and look at AP!

Me and my Maggie! I love to pull her pretty hair!
The first time I ate in my high chair...

This is the first morning that I woke up in my crib!
I'm kinda hung over from all that traveling you guys made me do!
My Grandmama was there when I woke up! I was SO glad to see her!
I dig this exersaucer thingy!


Do you think my Daisy was happy to meet me at the airport?? She does this just about everytime she sees me!

Meeting my Maggie at the airport...

My sweet godsister Claire...

Wyatt was so happy to see me!
This is part of what we saw when we got home.....our favorite people!

This is as soon as we came off the airport in Houston. This is my friend, Devon. We're American's now!5:00 am. Enough said!
My little nap on the airplane...

It has been CRAZY here! The day that we left GC we all woke up at 4:00 am. The airport was crazy, and someone evidently grabbed one of our bags. We had so many it was hard to keep up with them. We didn't even notice until we landed in Houston......Of course, it HAD to be the bag with MOST of AP's clothes in it! Andrew and I both had some nice things in there too. Why couldn't it have been the boys' suitcase with t-shirts and shorts????? We were just thrilled to have Anne Pearce though.....we can buy more clothes! She was such a trooper throughout the entire day traveling! She slept a little while on the first flight and just had cat naps throughout the rest of the trip. She squealed when she saw everyone at the airport and tolerated everyone wanting to hold and kiss her. She did have MAJOR meltdown later when we got home. It was so unlike her, but I thought it was just all the changes. Over the next couple of days she was very cranky, and we knew something was up. We took her for her first drs. appt. here Friday, and sure enough she had an ear infection. After several doses of antibiotics and numbing ear drops she is back to normal. We are so in love with her! I still can't believe that she's actually in THIS house HERE with US!!! What a blessing that is. I can't tell you how many times a day I thank the Lord for her being in our family. He has truly given us the most wonderful gift in Anne Pearce. She is adjusting so well, and is so attached to her mommy, daddy, and brothers! She loves having visitors and plays and coos with everyone. After a while though she is reaching for mommy and daddy. We took her shopping today to start replinishing some of her lost wardrobe. Can I just tell you that she is definitely my daughter??? This girl LOVES to shop. She was so good even through the Alabama heat! I am so sorry that it took so long to post! Now that things are better with her health I will try to add new pics everyday. I know how many of you have prayed for her and followed our journey...... We are so thankful to include you all in this new chapter of our life.

Love,

Lou, Drew, Logan, Hayden, AND FINALLY, Anne Pearce!
