Day Six

We are back with another lazy day in the hotel post for day six!! It's still the weekend, so going out is not on the agenda! Today was actually a really good day. If you read my post from yesterday, I was talking about dealing with the sibling issue. So we woke up this morning to a little bit of that still.

Learning to work through one of our struggles. I wanted to show some real life pictures too. Not just the smiles that are forced by Mommy and the camera. 

Sheer exhaustion. It was before 10am and we were already a little fried.

But as the day went on, things got better and better. 

We went for a walk and stopped at Starbucks.

Naptime was a success today. We all laid down together in the bed to watch a movie and the boys finally fell asleep. No dramatic tears, just a little bit of sit up/lay down game. And then crash.

We fell asleep with sweet little boys and we woke up to some ninjas in our room!!

(I never could have imagined when we bought Stephen this scarf/headband/balaclava, how big of a hit they would be for the boys! They LOVE playing like this and walk around the room with them on!

But they sure are cute ninjas!!

It still feels so surreal to look at these pictures and say, "We have three boys! Three!" 

 The boys had some great bonding today. We love where we are staying and the fact that we can get outside, away from the hustle and bustle and just walk around. 

Sean eating a cheeseburger!!! He tried mine the other day for the first time and that is what he ordered tonight!

Silas was feeling the need for some comfort food tonight. As much as he loves Western food and we are so thankful for that, it's still not his niche. But he is willing to try just about anything! 

We finished the night with some bubbles in the dark and a big group hug!!

Making bubbles is hard work!

Ok, here you have to see the progression in these pictures. It's too precious to miss. Click on the images to make them bigger!

Sean comes in first for the big hug. Silas is thinking about it...

Ok, sure, why not!

Stephen's face here gets me. He may have a tough exterior sometimes, but he has a heart of gold. 

And this one! The exchange between Silas and Stephen. So precious!!

These moments are what I live for!! 

So happy for a peaceful, relaxing day!! It was much needed. 

We are venturing back out into the world tomorrow. We have a meeting to fill out paperwork and discuss our US Consulate appointment on Wednesday. We will be meeting several other adoptive families as well that have spent the last week with their new kiddos! So excited for Silas to see some other families like us!

Bedtime went great as well. Now it's my turn! 

We will be back tomorrow with all new adventures!!
