Today we visited Birmingham's most famous tourist attraction, the Vulcan. Plus we ate at a DELICIOUS bbq place and visited Julien's transitional fam again and went to the country's largest Target...PHEW! What a full day!
Morning yawns. Julien slept well last night and so did we. We had his last feeding at midnight and went to bed. Then I got up at 3:30 to feed him and Cody got up at 6:30.
Showing off his guns. Julien finally lost his umbilical cord so he took a bath with his daddy tonight and got his hair washed. His hair curled up so tight right after his bath...so cute!
"I am so sleepy and the day has yet to start!"
Here is Julien at the Vulcan, the world's largest cast iron statue. It was the main event at the 1904 World's Fair. See how impressed he is?
the Vulcan sits on top of this "mountain" (HA! we're from NM, we know mountains) and overlooks downtown. Birmingham was one of the hardest hit cities after the Great Depression because the mining industry tanked. It was fun to learn about Julien's birth place and some southern history.
Downtown Birmingham.
Can't wait to get a full family pic soon! We should be hearing about our ICPC clearance tomorrow. Please Lord, let us clear tomorrow so we can go home on Thursday. thanks for your prayers sweet peeps!

So excited for you guys! Happy to see that sweet baby in your arms. This post cracked me up. We lived in B-ham for 3 years while Michael was in seminary. We laughed every time they talked about Red "Mountain."
I just stayed up way past my bedtime getting caught up on your beautiful adoption story. Congrats on the sweet baby boy!! He's adorable!
