Will & Claire Meet

Once we were settled into our room, Robert and Dad went to pick up Claire. We were hopeful that she would be well rested, and fortunately her teachers made sure that she was well rested!

When they first came in the room, she seemed a little apprehensive but curious.

We thought it would be a good idea for Claire to have a gift for Will and vice versa. Robert and I had taken Claire to the store Wednesday evening, and she picked out a Cookie Monster doll for him.

She was thrilled with the Elmo doll from Will.

After a few minutes, she was ready for a closer look...

...and then excited to finally meet the baby brother we'd been talking about for so long!

It was a beautiful beginning to what I hope is a wonderful friendship between our two precious, precious children.

***Thank you to Penny for all of the photos!***

So sweet!! And I think I am going to totally steal the gift exchange idea---We were already planning for baby brother to have a gift for Addi, but I think letting her choose a gift for him will be good too!!

The gift exchange was a great idea!
I love the expressions on Claire's face--throughout the whole process of meeting him. I especially like the picture of Claire giving Will a kiss! Can't wait to see all of you in person again.
Love,
Aunt Nancy

So sweet!!!! I have tons of pictures to post, and some of them include the meeting of the minds. Again, Adele was sick so we didn't let her get too close.
