So Tami, Kayla's birthmom, wanted to have us all meet at Sears for portraits of the kids and parents. It was a zoo. The boys were good for about 2.8 seconds out of 120 minutes then started pounding each other in the kidneys. The photographer was young and had to get help. So 5 adults, 2 photographers, with 3 kids, we managed to get some good photos. Tami sent us home with two poses that are pretty sweet of Cassidy. I also learned how to get the best open eyed shots of newborns. Cassidy ended up naked for a couple poses and peed in my hand so there was some laughing going on with the yelling. At one point Malux ended up missing in Sears but I was confident that he would get returned if found. haha. When it was just Jake and me with Cassidy, the photographers said they were glad we were adopting Cassidy and taking her home to Washington. It was undescribable.
After that chaos, we decided to drive to meet Kayla's birthfather in Oregon, OH. He....well. We met him. And the crew that was working on the house with him. Sketchy. At best.
We went to Donald's House (McDonald's) to eat and the van John and Kayla drive overheated. They ended up limping that home and we took Cassidy to Lake Erie.
The lake was nice and windy on a hot day. We got there late afternoon and played in the water for awhile. It was nice to just be us, but we miss Connor tons. It's been really hard to be away from him for so long.
When we got back into the RMD House, we ate dinner then watched a downpour of rain and lightning storm. It lasted about 30 minutes and was impressive. The raindrops were the size of marbles.
No news from the attorney on the OH papers being signed. I think the plan is that once we get the call the OH papers are done, we will head to Cleveland and fly once we know WA okays the papers. That way we are as close as possible to fly out.
