Landrie's sweet birth mom, Brianna, came into town on Saturday for a visit! I love that she's close enough that we can do little visits pretty often.
This is my new favorite picture of them! Aren't they so cute?
Landrie, Brianna and Brynn (Landrie's bio half sister!)
Hugs!
After a little hang out time at our home, we went out to eat. Landrie thought Brynn was HILARIOUS! I think we might need to borrow her every time we go out to eat. :)
And the girls are officially done with sitting still at the table! :) They were good for a really long time!
The front of the restaurant had beautiful flowers.
"Look!"
Landrie had to smell them! She almost face planted into them.
I love this one of them running and playing without a care in the world.
Good bye kisses!
And good bye hugs!
If you aren't in an open adoption, I know it can seem so weird and scary. It sure did to us! Then we met Brianna, and it just works beautifully. If you are thinking about adoption, you'd be crazy not to at least consider an open one. It's not always best for both parties, but when it is, it's such a great arrangement. Brianna gets to keep in touch with the baby she loves so much and watch her grow up. Brynn and Landrie get to spend time together as sisters, and Landrie gets extra people in her life who love her like crazy. We get to know our own baby girl even better by knowing about her birth family, plus, we get to hang out with sweet Brianna and Brynn!

I love that you guys seem to have such a great relationship with Landrie's birth mother! It gives me hope as we wade the waters and make decisions about an open/semi-open adoption.
You are SO inspiring! What a beautiful story!
i love it. open adoptions are a blessing!
It is so wonderful that you have such a great relationship with Landrie's birth mother. My nephew was a closed adoption and his birth mother had them stop sending pictures of him. He is loved more than any little guy in the world but I can't help but feel sorry for him. I don't want to judge her though, maybe it was just too hard on her to see him.
