We would like you all to meet our new son, Benjamin Jeremy. He was born on March 23rd, and has stolen all of our hearts already.
In what has been a very busy and stressful week, we were able to leave Winnipeg on Thursday around noon, and arrive at our hotel in the wee morning of Friday, April 8th. We met up with my brother, Blaine, who had coincidentally been in Florida for a conference. We all tried to sleep, although not well, and were ready and itching to get to the adoption agency for our 11:30 meeting. We had some meetings, met lots of wonderful people and had to sign lots of paperwork, but around 4:00 pm local time, we were leaving with Benjamin in our arms.
We went out for a celebratory meal (we were all famished from a long day without lunch), and returned to the hotel. We will have more to post later, but here's the main gist of the day :)
