One year ago - part one...

One year ago we were just finishing up our homestudy for our upcoming adoption.  We had completed all our paperwork, been fingerprinted, had our physicals (Liv too), written our autobiographies, had most of the interviews with our social worker and had our home inspected.  We were ready for a break - and our trip to NYC came at just the right time.

I needed to go to New York for work, to help prepare for and run the 16th annual New York City Buddy Walk for work.  I was excited that Brian and Liv would be able to make the trip with me - 5 nights in the Big Apple.  Brian's sister had recently had their second child so this would give them a great opportunity to see baby Noah and for Liv to experience New York City.  As you can imagine, she LOVED it!!  I heard lots of great stories at the end of the day since I was unable to partake in any of the sightseeing.

Fun times on top of the Empire State Building, the castle in Central Park (our old stomping grounds), the fountain (surprisingly, there was no sign of "Thoth") and fun on the playground.  Who loves NY?  Olivia does!!
