FUN, FUN, FUN......



It's all I can say about our trip to Pitt!!!!!



We loaded into the van bright and early (5:30 am) Saturday morning and headed for the west. We hooked into the GPS (Lucy) and tore out of the driveway. What a trip!!! All was going well until we hit bumper to bumper traffic which delayed us a little over an hour. I hate traffic. Good thing Norm is the driver!!!! We arrived safely at Matt, Lauren, & Max's house around 11:30. WOW....What a BEAUTIFUL home! She is one fantastic decorator. We had an absolute blast with them!!!
We met so many people....Lauren's mom, Patti and family, and Diane and her family. We thought it was a little weird when people we never met before walked into the house and knew us instantly. Blogger world is so huge!!!!!

The boys were a little shy of each other at first but once they got groovin with the toys they played like old times. It was so great to watch them together. They really have a uniqueness to both of them. Max is so easy going and willing to give up anything in his hands. Derek is the fighter, he wanted whatever Max had in his hands.

Then it was time to throw a little cutie into the mix. Diane, Eric & Gwen came over. If you all remember Diane was our original case manager. She got us through so much. It was so wonderful to finally meet her and her family. Gwen was just so happy playing with all of the toys and she didn't really care if the boys joined in or not. She is a living doll. Diane loved meeting Derek & Max. I must admit when I met Diane I was awestruck. I never realized she was so young. WOW...she really hasa way of dealing well with us older folks going through the trials of adoption. I had to actually look away from her a few times and listen to her talk to convince myself that it was really her. After only speaking on the phone her voice was all I knew. That and a picture on the agency website that made her look about 10 years older than she is. What a great lady!!!!!

We went to "The Incline" to ride the trolly car and we did a little shopping and some lunch at the railroad square. It was great. A snowy and cold day but friends warm every day so we didn't mind at all.



I'll leave you with a few pictures.
