Picture Time ...

I finally got some pictures downloaded ... these pictures were taken on our first night home and the next morning ... when the kids were getting along great! I'm not sure what happened after that to make Nika withdraw from her brother and sister, but I do have to say she seems to be doing great with them since they got home from school. We'll see how the day pans out ... I think the fact that she is not quite as "new" to us as she was two days ago is helping them not bombard her so much ...

First night home ... the three kiddos ...
First night home ... the girls playing with balloons ...
First night home ... Mason and Nika ...
First morning home ... sisters sharing some Cheerios ...

The pictures are great! I love the last one of Nika and Payton looking at each other, and the one above with Mason - he's a great big brother.

I jumped over her from Renee's to see your addition she is so sweet. all you kids are.. funny thing is me and my hubby is planning to have another baby(mommy to 3 but I lost my baby bac in september to SIDS before birth) and Addison is a name I like and just last nite me and hubby were in the car throwing names around and he likes the name Payton.. So when I seen those 2 names I thought hmm Addison Payton vanderpool would be perfect I could call her addie payt.. but anyway enough about me..

These pictures are wonderful. She actually looks soooooo happy. I never really saw pictures of Payton, until now, and she is absolutely beautiful and Mason's eyes are to die for.

Funny, my son's name is Mason and my niece is Payton. So wierd to say those names together and it not mean MY family. Addison is awesome. She fits in so well with your family. What a lucky girl she is!
