beautiful girl

We are on Day 9 with our new baby girl, she is such a joy

 and fits so well into our family! 

I know a lot of you are dying to know her name, but we're just waiting on the paperwork end of things to get taken care of to share that with everyone!  Hopefully soon!  We're hoping that consents will be signed by both birthparents soon, and that she will be legally our daughter 10 days later!  Just having her here with us, makes all of the issues that can come with an non-agency adoption that much easier to handle.  We know that God has brought us all this far, and He has amazing things in store for everyone involved.  Keep praying for things to proceed swiftly and that God would strengthen our family and the others involved in this. 

We are just simply in awe of how God has moved.  It is impossible to leave God out of her story, it has been the most clear demonstration of His love for His children that we have ever experienced and know it will continue to be.

Here are some new pictures of our cutie pie from this weekend...

... evidence of many curls to come...

We love her smiles and intense eye contact with us.. she follows me around the room with her eyes, and we are so happy she is attaching to us so quickly!
