FYI, when we were at the CWI last week, we had a chance to see the upstairs. Along with therapy areas, there are rooms for handcrafts. The older teens (15-16+) are taught to use big knitting machines to make sweaters, scarves, long knit pants, stuffed animals, hats, etc. The sweater your daughter was in (the first photo) was made by them. Our son was wearing a similar one at his adoption in Dec. 2007. Just a tidbit of info that we thought was interesting!

Glad you made it home safely. Your girls look like they are doing so well! We just came home today and I am trying to catch up a bit. 🙂

It would be a gorgeous day in the 50’s, and people would have their children bundled into snowsuits like Nanook of the North. Isn’t it odd? The couple from Texas, accustomed to warm weather, were happy with sweaters, while those raised in the cold climes were chilly when we thought it was pleasant.

Never have understood that, to be honest.

And get this– she even had a SCARF! It was a beautiful fall day, at least 75-80 degrees, and she had on a winter vest AND a scarf. 🙂

When we went to the notary the women came over to check how many layers of pants we had on our daughter and even though she had pants and snow pants on they didn’t feel it was enough and they let us know.
It’s so funny now because our daughter will not keep pajama pants on and loves running around the house in her undies even here in Northeast PA even on the coldest nights.

Great idea. Right now it’s safely packed away but I like the idea of photographs. Like Amelie, our daughter was bundled up. We met in the hotel and were going straight to our room. We weren’t going outside. She was sweating so badly when we finally got to our room. Poor little one.
