| Packed and ready to go! |
So we are trying something new this summer called Camp Grandma :) Dalton left yesterday for a week in NC with his grandparents and NC family. I have to admit, I had a heavy heart yesterday morning when I woke up and knew that I wouldn't see him until Friday. But-I think it's really important for a child to spend time with their grandparents and cousins, aunts, uncles, etc and I knew that this would be a really good week for him and a great way to make some fun summer memories.
Meanwhile, Anna is staying at home with us. It occurred to Zack and I when we planned this that we have NEVER had 1 on 1 time with her since her birth! Crazy, isn't it?? So while we miss little man more than words, we are really soaking up this time with Anna. And I have to say-she is loving it!!! She's definitely not used to having all this attention! Yesterday on the way home from Anderson, SC where we met Larry and Ann I don't think she was quiet for even 20 seconds. She just chattered away the whole car ride back and loved not being interrupted by you know who!!! :)
Today I was off and so we headed up to Cleveland, GA to Babyland General Hospital-home of the Cabbage Patch Kids! I have to tell you that this was one of my favorite things that I have ever done with my children! Maybe because I used to love them so much when I was a little girl?? Anyway, it was little girl heaven and Anna absolutely LOVED it!!!

| Have you ever seen a cuter Cabbage Patch Kid??? |

| In the Cabbage Chair |
 |
| In front of one of the museum showcases. Can you believe they had dolls displayed that are worth $15,000??? |
 |
| One of the nurseries |
 |
| She hugged a lot of baby dolls trying to find the right one for her!!! |
 |
| We even got to witness a birth!!! It was so special!! The nurses pictured are "LPN's--or Licensed Patch Nurses"...we had to wait a long time and kept hearing hospital announcements saying "the cabbage leaves are 8 cm dilated! Nurse Amy and Nurse Jennifer to the patch, stat!" Hilarious!!! |
|
 |
| Finally!! We found "the one" |
 |
| Styling some hair at the Patch Styling Salon...this was right up her alley. |
 |
| Proudly carrying her baby to the adoption suite to take her oath. |
 |
| Listening patiently to her responsibilities as an adoptive mother. |
 |
| Raising her right and and repeating the oath |
 |
| She did it! "Baby Sally" is officially part of the fam!! |
 |
| Proud mother |
 |
| Babyland General. That little speck is Anna :) |
 |
| Yay for a super fun day!!! |
I got a few more pics on my phone that I will have to add later but they are so cute. Needless to say, Baby Sally went EVERYWHERE with us today...Chick Fil A, Wal-Mart, and even on a long stroller ride in the neighborhood! Of course, as I type, they are both tucked in and sound asleep.
I know this will be a day that I will treasure forever! So thankful for this sweet little girl.
