GOTCHA DAY!

This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!

There are no words to describe how wonderful today was! Our prayers and yours were answered in so many ways! This will likely be a shorter post than I would normally do, but I have one little angel here by my side, sharing her toys with me! Daddy is taking a nap, still trying to beat his cold.

Kristen arrived right on time, and came to both of us without a tear! She checked us out and must have decided we were okay. We quickly got to the important stuff – snacks! She came to us with crackers in each hand, and then let me feed her a million fruit puffs. The orphanage director was very kind, and was able to give us some meaningful mementos. Davis, I think she loves stuffed animals as much as you do!

When we came back to the hotel, she played with her toys, ate a whole bunch, took a bath, changed clothes and went down for a nap. The only sound we heard was a bit of protest about being dried after the bath while I was out of the room. I heard crying and “Mama!” She does go to both of us well, and we are so thankful! She walks well and is curious and sweet. She’s sooooooo quiet right now, but maybe we’ll get more out of her in a few days. She loves her V-tek phone with the lights and sound. After the nap we went on an explore in the hotel, and had fun watching the Christmas decorations going up.

God is Good, All the Time ~ and All the Time, God is Good! We are so thankful to our heavenly Father for bringing all three of our children into our lives. Each one is a special blessing to us.

Now I have to go…someone’s waiting for me!

Feeling Blessed,

Monte and Suzanne
