4 weeks ago today......

we were entrusted with the most precious gift we could ever receive. Yes, it has been 4 weeks since we first held our daughter in our arms. What a whirlwind 4 weeks it has been!!!! We are still in awe the fact that we are finally parents. Even today Paul said to me "we are really not babysitting are we?" I guess it has taken a little while for it to sink in for both of us. There have been some ups and downs during the past 4 weeks but we would not trade any of it. We still feel so blessed that the Lord has given us this child. She continues to thrive and we can't wait to see what task she will master next. I was going through our China pictures tonight and amazed at the changes we have seen in such a short amount of time. I am already one of those mothers that say "she is growing so fast".

Happy Monday!!!!!!!!!!

Even though I know it is true, has it really been four weeks?!?!?! And yet, it seems as if she has always been here. Then again, she has - in our thoughts and in our hearts. Now she is HERE. And I can't wait to add my little one to the bunch.

Love you!
