We had an absolutely wonderful weekend with Rebecca and her family in town! As I wrote earlier, Levi’s adoption finalization was on Friday.

Friday and Saturday, we enjoyed hanging out together in between their visits to see Levi’s birth family. They were able to meet Levi’s birth mother for the very first time! Rebecca so beautifully wrote about meeting Ashley here.

One night (as Rebecca and I were up way too late!) we started reminiscing about last March when we first learned about each other.

It was quite a funny conversation!

Saturday night Rebecca’s family took my family out to Olive Garden to celebrate Levi’s adoption and as a thank you to my parents for opening their home to them while Levi was in the NICU. (As a side note, Sweet Pea did awesome! No overstimulation. I was even able to take her out of her cocoon [her car seat] and let her sit on my lap. She was smiling away! This was so encouraging to me!)

Sunday was church and then soon after lunchtime they hit the road to go back home.
