Look What We Got Today!

What a gift we received today! New photos of our precious Bella!
I just want to scoop her up and give her a BIG hug and kiss!
Her Daddy is aching to meet her too!

In all honesty we ALL are!
I don't think a day goes by that one of the kids doesn't ask when Bella will be home.
We would have been in China now, had we not had such a delay with our LOA,
so these are even more WONDERFUL to get this week!

We hope to travel soon and trust that it will be in God's PERFECT time!

We love you sweet girl!!
We are praying for you and can't wait to hold you in our arms!

OH my goodness Sarah!!! Seriously--she's about as precious as they get. You must just want to jump through the screen and hold her! You are in for one amazing trip--so deserving--so beautiful. Can't wait for you to meet her and hold her.

Oh Sarah....have been thinking of you and FINALLY bought your brother's CD Call Out. I saw them at our Christian Book Store - last time I was there they didn't have them. I bought 4. :) So you know, have been thinking of you lots while listening to him sing! Look at that beautiful girl waiting for you in China!!!! Know you can't wait to hold her and love her! I can't wait to see all of this unfold! God's goodness is sometimes overwhelming!
Thanks for sharing this site with all of us!!! So grateful to be a witness to this! Seems like so long ago that I sent the e-mail to all my friends about what happened the day you found Bella! Soon!!
Love you!
Jenny

Sarah, she is SO PRECIOUS!! Thanks so much for your kind note and sweet words. We are doing really well and Oakley has grown up SO MUCH. I'd love to freeze time. I need to update the blog -- I'm sure there are few readers at this point given that I haven't posted in FOREVER, but I know I need to at least post a few photos. Blessings to you and yours!!
