new aunt

My brother dropped by my work when he was 'in the neighborhood' yesterday. I rounded the corner for the lobby and there him and his wife stood with their newborn baby girl. They just adopted her. Like, I was the first person they came to see on their way home, just adopted her.

(These were taken quickly yesterday and I look like a mess, but who cares. It's all about her anyway.)

I knew they were going through the adoption process, but I had no idea all of this was going on this week. They've been really good about keeping a lot of the details private. I was so shocked and excited when I saw them standing there that I burst into tears. I'm so happy for them that I'm not sure how to express it. I know that she is going to be loved to the fullest.

Welcome to the family baby M.
