What a weekend! The word I’m looking for is there… There is so much LOVE! I was sitting outside and looking at the sign - Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much- that is it! Our weekend with all ½ sibling families - have so much of Love, Live and Laugh!
Yesterday, other ½ sibling families from PA arrived. Wow!! They are awesome! What are the odd - all are so awesome and filled with love! We all enjoyed so much!
We shared many stories of our kids. You wouldn’t believe this… Most of their stories - were so similar to us!! So weird! Interesting how donor can give children their traits and characters.
I’m typing this in the van as we are on way to home to Maryland. It was so difficult for us to leave. We hugged and said - bye bye --- I love you --- they even tried to beg us to stay one more night - I wish we could! But we can’t… Hollie need to go back to work as she took off some days last week.
Wanted to share my experience as of communication with them…. At the first I was nervous - after few minutes - We started to feel comfortable as they speak very clearly and very patience with us. Hey K & E - I’m not SHY at first night! ;o) (I asked Hollie - was I shy? She said - YES - that’s full of BS!) I wasn’t sure what to say - that is why I didn‘t talk much at first. After I just need to get know them first :o) BUT... It gets better afterwhile...
It was fun to watch kids playing together. Some of things that they do - freak me out! My gosh My boy does that and that kid is not my boy! Syd and Mikaela love to sing even tho they are not look like but have same donor. Mikaela got from me! Kyron - probably from donor as other boys look him (not excat but mostly).
Karen and Jan - wow!! They are funny, loving, supportive, and silly! Love them! Their kids - beautiful and handsome! Full of energetic with a lot of personalities.
Two moms from PA - sweet, loving, caring people as we get know them in a short period of time. Wish to get know them more. (next time ;o) ) Their daughter C - Mikaela and C hooked up really nice and played very well.
I can’t thank Elyse and Cindy enough… They are AWESOME and loving people!! Thank you - for the dinner, for the wonderful times, using your playground for kids and especially painting on your lovely driveway.
Their kids - Olivia - one of most sweet girls! She has beautiful eyes with a big smile. She probably is the youngest of all (other than her sister Emma). She played well with Mikaela, C and Syd. Twin - Jake and Emma - wish I could take them home with me! So cute and beautiful babies!!! They are very happy babies! They are lucky to have beautiful and happy kids - just because they have love in them! Thank you!

WE gotta meet again next year! Mikaela was CRYING and said - I want to see Syd, Olivia and C again. I want to play with them tomorrow. (breaking my heart - need to glue them together - wiping my tears). She also said - can they come to my house? I told her that they live real far. Then she asked - can you drive me to their houses? I explained they live far too… Poor kid!
Here is some pictures.
