I am continually amazed when I look at this sweet little girl the Lord has given to us. When those little lashes finally flutter closed in sleep and I gaze at that little face I find myself in awe at this little angelic face. I find myself in prayer with praise and thanksgiving for this little princess. My boys are still completely smitten. They have been transformed into little “Knights in Shining Armor”. They have become fierce defenders, protectors, and entertainers. I so often find myself laughing at their antics and their quick responses to her requests. Our family has been forever  changed by this little bundle of sugar and spice!!

Well, we had our first of four postplacement homestudies. Admittedly, I was nervous as well as the rest of the family. Hunter scoured the house!! Every time I turned around he was cleaning something else. I asked if he was a bit nervous about the meeting and said a little.  We were thankful when it was over and felt good about it. It was obvious she wasn’t there to find fault, but rather to provide the information required by Russia.The next one will come in another six months, and then it will be a year before we have the third one.

She is doing soo amazing with English and attachment. Thursday night in the middle of the night she called out for Mommy. She will generally just come crawl in the bed with us. But she called to me in the midst of her sleep. So even in her sleep, she is finding security in Mommy. ;o) It was a  wonderful realization when B pointed out the fact that it was a first. We felt it was certainly praiseworthy!! We are continually blessed by this little princess that God has brought into our lives.

In His Watchcare,
