right for our family the whole southeast was covered in storms and i feared they wouldn t arrive on time perhaps even at all as the day wore on i checked the hourly forecast again around 3 00 and the storms seemed to have disappeared they landed in dc late got through immigration and believe it or not got their connection and landed at rdu right on time i stood with sean watching the arrivals board actually he didn t stand anywhere he could barely contain himself and as i saw their plane approach i turned my head toward the arrivals board and at that very second it switched to landed that s when my tear s began i spotted ryan first and as i looked down there she was that little face her proud and very tired daddy pushed his little girl to the finish line sean and i ran up and just pounced on all of them lily was very very unsure about anyone but poppa she cried when she didn t see him and wouldn t come to me at all this i expected as we pulled out of the parking deck the biggest fattest most vivid rainbow appeared over the airport terminal it stopped all of us in our tracks lily s rainbow could there be a more heaven sent sign i hope the pictures turn out once we got home and settled the night was up and down i was solo she and i had time together and morning brought a whole new lily after a huge breakfast with sean ryan daddy and i our day progressed and she became more familiar with her new home our golden retriever scares the hell out of her but as of this writing packer is starting to grow on her packer is thrilled to have another baby in the house her diet just got much more interesting again she napped for 3 hours we woke her up for dinner at 7 00 she was fast asleep woke at 2 15 took a bottle and asleep again at 3 00 at 6 15 this morning both
