We are counting down the hours..

until we are HOME!! We are SOOO excited to be this close. Today we celebrated our one week anniversary as a family with breakfast at the buffet. Lily enjoyed her egg and milk! Although she got more on her and the floor then in her mouth.I think that she likes the way it feels in her hand more then the taste! I can't believe we have been here a full week! Chris and I are going to use the date that she was placed in our arms as our family day 1/8. We were going to use 1/17 the day that we come home but changed our minds. We just thought about it and eventhough we aren't home yet we have been a family since that moment a week ago.

Right now she is riding the horse in the baby room as Chris sings Bonanza theme song to her! She LOVES to ride that thing! We are going to do some shopping for her today. All week we have been eyeing the things that we want to pick up for her. Tomorrow Daddy and Lily are going to come to the baby room in the morning so that I can pack us up!

We will post one more time tomorrow morning and give all the info for the airport at that time. Until then here are more pictures!!!

She is so beautiful! I love the picture where she looks terrified that Chris is about to EAT whatever is in his mouth. HAHA. I can't tell if she's about to laugh or cry. =P

Thank you for sharing a special part of your lives. She is a beautiful little girl. You have been in my prayers and I look forward to seeing your new family member real soon.
Warmly,
Diane

She is just adorable. You just want to kiss those little cheeks! I am counting down the hours too until you are home. I remember VERY well that feeling of wanting to be home as a family. (Not to mention, share her with friends and family) I sometimes still cry when I look at Maria and wonder why we were blessed enough to have her in our family. Enjoy!

God allows all things to work together for good and now the "good" (GREAT!) has been realized! Please always remember to keep HIM first in your lives and your blessings will continue to be great as you begin this new journey! God bless you! She is absolutely beautiful! Love, Debbie T.
