First Celebrations!

We were so blessed to be able to celebrate LuLu for the first time on Friday! To be surrounded with people who have helped to bring her home, and look forward to her coming home almost as much as we do, was so precious. When everyone sang Happy Birthday to her, I couldn't help but shed tears. Tears over the joy that she brings to us already, and tears over the gladness that the sorrow of many years has passed. Tears of thankfulness to God our Father for entrusting us with her, and this most amazing gift! Praise God for his blessing and saving grace!

Happy Birthday LuLu

Today our daughter is turning ONE. I do not know what her day holds for her, or where she is today or who is feeding her and dressing her. I do not know if her birth mother and father are somewhere on the other side of the world wishing and hoping the same things that we are, for her today; wishing also that she could be with them and be the ones to comb her hair and bath her this morning, to feed her the early morning bottle and dress her in her special birthday clothes and go about buying things for her celebration and play with and love her and teach her new things and be all that a parent can be, as we do. I imagine they are!
We will celebrate her life today with a big birthday celebration and feast in honor of her and the anticipation of her coming home to us and will be surrounded with loving people who already love her so dearly.
Have a blessed day everyone!
Love, Kristy
