Brooke's Visit

We had another wonderful day with Brooke while she was here. She left us about 12 pm to start her long drive home. Within a half hour Jay's Mom, Sister, and Nieces arrived to spend a couple of days with us here at the hotel. We have been so happy that our family has been able to come down and spend some time with us and of course see Sophia. We miss Holly's parents who have been desperately wanting to come and see Sophia but are unable to due to Jim's health. After everything he went through in March he is still not back to full health and is unable to make the long drive down here. They are anxiously awaiting our return to Delaware where they can spend some quality time with us.

Sophia is doing very well. So well in fact that we had to go shopping today and pick up another 23 oz container of Similac! Man can she eat...or drink formula! She is up to 4 oz per feeding. She is loving all of the attention by family who have been all taking their turns with her. She slept so well last night. Our first couple of nights she was wide awake and sleeping most of the day. We did our best to keep her up as much as we could yesterday which I think paid off last night. We are just trying to get her day and night cycles synchronized.

We just got a call today which we were disappointed about. The counselor who was to send out our paperwork on Monday called to tell us that she had just finished our paperwork and was sending it out in the over night mail today. That means Virginia will not get the paperwork until tomorrow. The problem is they should have had it by Tues or at the very latest today. This will mean more time for us here in Virginia as we cannot leave until our paperwork is processed by the state which takes 6-10 days once it is received. Keep us in prayer. Please pray that Virginia processes the paperwork quickly. We like our hotel but are really missing home and all of our family and friends.
