Meeting my biological family

Wow, what a surreal weekend! I can't believe it really happened, but I have photos to prove it! Susie (my birth mother) and the rest of the gang arrived Friday afternoon about 2. We had sandwiches waiting for them, and we made our introductions while we ate. Then, we took them to their hotel so they could relax a bit before supper.

Here we all are at Los Tres Amigos--one of our faves. Left to right:

Kerry & Harmony (older sister & husband), Gabe & Susie (birth mother & husband), and Ashley (younger sister). Amigos was a bit hit, except for when Gabe blabbed in Spanish to our waiter and sneakily picked up the check! :)

Here are just us girls.

On Saturday I took just Susie out for breakfast... where I discovered that she doesn't eat breakfast. :) That's okay--we spent 2 quick hours talking. It was great. Then, we girls went shopping together. We hit the Salvation Army and the mall. And Taco Bell. Then we all met up and went to Steve & Barry's, where everyone got some Michigan gear. Then, it was a chilly walk to Mongolian Barbeque...YUM! Only a couple of us had been there before, and it was a hit.

Auntie Ashley is currently Livvie's favorite, for obvious reasons.

Nope, now it's Auntie Harmony!

I'll save the rest for another post...
