Today was a wonderful day spent with Miss Riley Jane Bissinger. We packed up her backpack for the first day of school, we watched "Magic School Bus" together, we played at the playground and I videotaped her riding her bike with no training wheels! Despite the overcast weather, we really managed to have a great, relaxing summer day. Thanks to all the family and friends who have started calling and emailing to wish us well on our journey. We are incredibly blessed to have such thoughtful people in our lives. The families from our agency who were traveling to other provinces got their babies today and a few have posted pix on their blogs. So exciting to see people we met at our travel meeting 10 weeks ago holding their daughters at long last! In about 6 1/2 days, we'll be posting a similar shot! Surreal. Life is beautiful.
