Our Thanksgiving went well. I actually baked two pies (one apple and one pumpkin)...and I really don't bake...

Well, we finally were able to connect. We met Andrew's birth mom for the second time on November 23, 2008...the exact date of Andrew's 11 month birthday. We framed two recent 5x7 pictures and gave her a Thanksgiving Day card from Andrew. The card was addressed to "Mommy". Inside the card, we gave her a gift certificate for Safeway (grocery store) and two wallet size pictures of Andrew as well.
Andrew was a bit scared at first, but warmed up to her quickly. The mommy could not keep her eyes off Andrew and she loved playing with him. We are going to meet up again in January, once we return from our trip to the Philippines. We went out for lunch and took some pictures.
