Hi sweathearts! I sure do miss you! Daddy and I are having a super fun time. Yesterday, Daddys friend Julie picked us up at the airport and took us out to lunch. It was crazy to drive around with someone who knows this city - she pointed out some sites and took us to her apartment before dropping us of at our hotel. You would not believe how nice this hotel is! We take the elevator up to the 11th floor to get to our room. Afer we settled in, we walked around the city a bit. There are places that the sidewalk goes underneath train tracks and over the river and there are huge buildings all around. We took a train to the town that Daddy grew up in and walked from the train station to a coffee shop where we met Daddy's Uncle Boo Boo and Aunt Terry and your uncle Micheal...and guess who walked in? Gramps and Laurie! After coffee we went to another one of Daddy's uncle's house, Uncle Mike and Aunt Sue, for pizza. Lots of Dad's family came over...it was really fun to see everyone. Aunt Lulu took us back to the train station so we could catch the 11:13pm train back to the city. We walked back to our hotel and had a great sleep. Now dad is walking back to the train station to meat Uncle Micheal so we can go out to celebrate his birthday over breakfast. I think I will have some french toast! What else will we do today? Maybe rent bikes to ride along the lake....maybe do some shopping.....and then Julie's wedding of course! We are having a great time and I hope you are too! We love you so much and we are excited to share some photos from our first day.... xoxoxoxox

Well the kids sure were excited to read this!!! Noah and Nim read the whole thing aloud, and they were happy to see pictures of everyone too. Things are going swell here on the Carmona front~ although Alex and I are having slight difficulties living up to the exact way Mom and Dad do things! (we are getting the hang of it though.) There were a couple tears last night at bedtime, but they were quickly dried with a little Penelope cuddle-time. We are headed out for a walk to the mailboxes right now, and will go to the castle park later.
Looks like you are having a blast so far :)
Hope this birthday day is going GREAT!!!
XOXO ~ the surrogate parents.
