We love you so much Sunshine. We went through so many changes in Ethiopian adoptions which made our wait longer than expected. We went through some hard delays from the time we knew your name until we finally were able to get a plane to bring you home. But God was with us the entire time as He was also with you. Some days he carried me through the day because I was not able to make it on my own. God was and is in control. That wait brought us to you. It's hard to believe that on Saturday, you will have been home for 6 months! You have grown and changed so much, but the one thing that has remained the same is your spirit. Your joy is contagious and your laughter spreads throughout our home. Our mornings have never been the same. You greet each one of us by name and with a smile. You make US feel special and make me aware of how I need to treat others. You are truly and blessing, Sunshine.

One Year Ago Today
One year ago today, we received the best phone call ever. We got to see the beautiful face and hear the name of the little one we had been praying for. We now knew who the daughter was that God had planned for our family. We heard the story of how she came to be our daughter. It was a day of both joy and sadness. We were so excited and ready for this little one to join our family, but also knew that someone else on the other side of the world had to go through so much sadness. Laughter and tears... Oh, how I pray that she will come to know Jesus and that He will provide her comfort in times of sadness.
