First Bath, well, with us anyway ;)

Yesterday we gave Anya her first bath since she came home with us. She obviously does not share her daddy's dislike of getting wet because she just loved it.


However, we were a little shaky on this dismount as she does not care for the after the bath portion of the show. Fortunately, get her all bundled up and snuggle her and she comes around after a little while.


On a side note we have moved her off her soy based formula that she was put on while in transitional care to see if it helps with her tummy aches. /crossfingers

She is adorable Brad and Katy

Hi, my name is Bonnie Turner and I have the privilege of attending church with your mom and Lawrence. I just love them both.

Of course Anya was introduced to us this morning by Delores and I could not wait until I could get on the computer to see Anya's picture. She is just as beautiful as grandmother said and I look forward to seeing updates on her.

As a mother that has gone through this new baby process twice, I can say that the experience will be with you all your life and you will recall all those early days with just as much excitement and love as you have in your hearts now.

I can remember that day of August 8 1974 when we went to bring our soon to be seven month baby girl home with us as if it were just last week. She was a state adoption and we had only to go to Little Rock. In fact we celebrate every year with a "family day" for both our daughter and son. Son was quite a bit smaller as he was only 10 days old so I did get to experience some of the waking up during nights and I loved every moment of that as well. Yes that is a looong trip to the Gladney home and we had only one days notice to get ready to travel. Travel we did, all night long to get there in time for the morning time they had set. They suggested we bring along big sister so we traveled with a three and a half year old as well.

It just keeps getting better and better and I am so happy for your family. Much love to all

Bonnie
