Daddy Makes an Impression



Pat was able to come by for a quick visit the other day. Lulu got to see his BIG, loud truck and she seemed to enjoy her time with her daddy. She loves her daddy so much. Almost every other word out of her mouth is Daddy. She make believes that she is daddy or her monkey is daddy, or her baby doll is daddy. She just has so much fun with him, and she misses him all day when he's gone. She'll probably be so happy when he gets to stay home with her every other day, if our new work plan works out!

Take a look:

She's got Style!



Terribly Late on posting... Lulu's doing very well, and God has been good to bless me with more time at home with her after her surgery. I am due to go back to work mid-March now. I am still in need of help with someone to watch her, I have some help but not all that I need. She went to her first Dance Party at her friend Morris' house last month and had a great time. She got kinda shy, but sucked up all the attention from Morris' grandparents. They hadn't met her yet, and just loved her. Of course! She's a charmer, without even trying sometimes.

Reflecting on how Lulu came to us

Thre is another precious little girl who captured our hearts 16 months ago. That same time, our Lulu was being born. This child was born with Spina Bifida, and was how God swayed us to consider Spina Bifida as a health need we would consider when adopting. Her story is an amazing one, and we were blessed to be a part of her life from afar, while we waited to see what would come of the adoption process. We were unsure at the time, why God had moved us toward this little one, and thought we would certainly want to adopt her. I post this today, because it is with great JOY, and thanks to God that I have found out that she will be officially adopted this Spring. While God's plan was not for her to be our child, her life was a crucial stepping stone to Our Daughter Lulu, and I will never forget and keep her in prayer. I am thankful to Him for His plan. Some of you also know her story and have prayed for her life too, and so I thought it important to show you God's answer to prayer. It seems complete now to me, this whole adoption. I would always wonder had I not known, what became of this child. But God has blessed me, that I might know, and I thank Him dearly.
