I talked to my sister the other day about the visit and she said, "I just kept thinking it was strangely normal. Like they were just another part of the family and always had been." And it's true. I think this is one of my favorite photos. If captioned, it would say so much. My mom, looking over my sister's shoulder. My sister holding Cullen's full biological brother. An extended and blended family brought together by love.

Reflecting on our Visit
We had such a wonderful weekend with Cullen's birthfamily. It's been so long since we have seen Melissa, and it was great to meet Sam and the boys. Cullen and Vincent look so much alike! And all three boys have that same sweet personality. At times I just sat back and watched the kids interact and felt so blessed that they all have this amazing opportunity with one another.
