Abigail...two days in a row!


This past Friday I was able to finally meet sweet Abigail who has been home now for about a month already. Between illness and the craziness of life we have not been able to make it work until now. The exciting part was that I got to see her two days in a row! What a treat! Ruth and Abigail came over for a visit on Friday so we could discuss the whole process in China. They spent 4 hours visiting and it seemed like they were here for only minutes. The time just flew by! She is such sweet and happy little girl! Very smart and inquisitive about everything around her. I had so much fun getting to know her and it made me long for our little Grace that much more.


Then on Saturday Ruth, Abigail and her brothers all came back for a visit so Mike, Hailey and Kyla could meet her. We all had such a wonderful visit and I was amazed at how well the big brothers were so attentive to their little sister needs. They are going to make great protectors for her over the next few years. (Brian we missed you...and we hope you are feeling better)
Here is a little slideshow I made of our two visits...ENJOY!!!

Oh she is so precious! Praying that your waiting time will not be too much longer. I know you guys are so eager to have sweet Gracie home. It is very frustrating how much the adoption process has slowed down. Waiting it so, but hang in there! Everything is in God's timing!

she is beautiful! I remember seeing others with their beautiful children already home and it helped me see that it was really going to happen, but also made me l-o-n-g for our girls to be home. Hang in there - praying for patience and peace while you wait.

Okay so I realize that Abigail is such an adorable baby girl that you would love to keep her picture at the top...BUT...I am sure you have other exciting things to post about like weekend with girlfriends (pst a little birdy told me) and btw was there a birthday you were celebrating too that I missed?

Hoping all is well!

How fortunate your families are that you live close enough to visit...

I know how much it means to both of you to have this wonderful connection. Just think of Abigail and Grace playing together for years to come. Won't that be fun?

Someday, Katie and Ella will return to Washington and will be able to play with both little girls!
