Two Months Home

Two months ago we stepped off a plane, and Elise started her new life at home as a Straight. From day one, she had her reservations about us. She had no idea how her life was about to be transformed. She proceeded with caution from the very beginning...


But now, really have we only been home 2 months?!?! Elise fits in perfectly with our family, just like she has always been here.

Here are just a few things that I love about my beautiful baby girl right now
  • The way she "eats" her whole hand when she is giggling
  • The high pitched ooooooooooo when she feels something cold
  • Her beautiful smile every time she wakes up and see us in the morning
  • The way she just cracks up and runs from the boys as they pretend to "get her"
  • The fact that she will eat just about anything we offer her
  • And most of all, her sweet precious baby lips she puckers up for a kiss
What a blessing this little one is to our family!! And to think that we almost missed it-WOW. Good thing we didn't listen to the world, just to the One and Only who matters :)


"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward.  Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one's youth.  Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; They shall not be ashamed, but shall speak with their enemies at the gate."-- Psalm 127:3-5
