Too Easy
As I have gone throughout these first couple of weeks home, I’ve been overwhelmed with the feeling that it’s been just too easy.
Oh yes, I’ve written about concerns that Eliza wasn’t bonding with me. I’ve wondered when she would let down the walls she has built over the years. But even with all […] Read more…
Sweet Eliza
Today was a better day for sweet Eliza!
We are on day 21 with Eliza, and I really can see improvement. She smiled so frequently today, I was just amazed at the change. She just seems to be so much more comfortable. Today she even tried the fish we had for dinner.
Tonight I was […] Read more…
The Little Girl Inside
I’m sitting outside Eliza’s bedroom folding clothes. She is inside with the door closed. I like open doors, but this is not a battle I will fight today.
I need to go downstairs to fix lunch, but the children are happy playing, and I don’t want to leave Eliza.
She is on the other side of […] Read more…
Happiness
These aren’t the best pictures, but I just had to show you these smiles!
This one is so blurry, but she is just giddy here!
Sweet, sweet smiles!
Oh my, how I have longed for that smile.
I’m too tired for words. I just wanted to share these pictures of our happy girls.
Blessings!
Little White Dress
While we were in China, Evangeline was quite the shopper. She found something she wanted at every store, and her new Mama and Baba were more than happy to oblige her. Whether it was a toy or an article of clothing, there was one thing we could be sure of: whatever she chose was always […] Read more…
School Questions
Now that we’ve gotten home from China and our family is all together now, it’s time to really start planning our school year. Well, I probably should have gotten a bit more planning done before we went to China, but here I am, and it’s time to get down to business.
I’d like to ask […] Read more…
Smiles
Eliza and Evangeline have a family.
Sometimes it all seems so surreal.
They’re really here.
They are really ours.
They’re not alone anymore.
They’re not orphans anymore.
They are chosen children,
With lots of brothers and sisters to love them.
The jet lag’s really hitting me hard today so I’ll just give you all […] Read more…
A Beginning
I’m not sure I’ll get pictures in this post tonight. We went to bed at 3:30 and were up at 7:30am. Now we’re getting ready for tomorrow and hoping to get to bed early. Mark has to go back to work tomorrow since he doesn’t have anymore time to take.
The girls are doing really […] Read more…
Going Home!
I’m so sorry it has taken me so long to let everyone know about how Eliza made out at the orphanage. Yesterday was our last full day here, and we had so much to do to get ready to go. And, I didn’t realize it, but I went over my allowed usage on my cell […] Read more…
