Yuck Work !

Today was a very sad day for me. It was my first day back at work and my first day away from Emma Grace. She got to spend the day with her Daddy, which did make it a little easier for me. She did wonderful & I got to come home around mid day for a quick visit. Then she,Daddy and Big Sissy came to school to meet the folks I work with. She did really well in the new environment & was laughing and playing around everywhere before she left.
Since last weekend was our last before me going back to work that Aaron was also off we took the girls camping. It was nice to have no phones, or TVs just family time. Emma Grace loved the outdoors and loved the deer that came walking up to our campsite. Elisabeth and Emma Grace spent almost an hour walking around picking up pine cones. Neither had any idea what they were going to do with them, but they had a ball.
We also had bible school at our church last week. It was amazing to see how well Emma Grace did with the other kids. She loved the music and would dance around. Also she even stood with the other kids during the program. It still amazes me that how much she has grown in such a short time. As of Sunday we have had her with us for two months, it seems like she has been here forever.

Yes We Are Still Here

Everyone has been asking are you ever going to update the blog. All I can say is yes at some point. The last 6 weeks has been amazing. Emma Grace is growing and changing every day. We stay so busy and mommy having computer time has not been a priority, but tonight everyone got quite early sooo.

Emma Grace is growing so much. She is now walking and into everything. Everyday is something new and exciting with her. Each day she seems to be picking up on language and talking that much more. Last week we went to the beach and had a wonderful time. Emma Grace wasn't to sure about the sand at first but it didn't take her long to become a regular beach bum. She loved the water and the sand. I included a slide show of our trip.

We have had several doctors appointments over the last few weeks. Emma Grace had an excellent appointment with our family doctor. She did really well & all of her blood work and test came back great. Then we visited her cleft specialist. The visit went well also. She got and excellent checkup and the doctor will monitor her progress over the next year before she has her gum surgery. She is eating well and nothing is slowing her down. Today she visited the ENT doctor to check her ears and sinuses. She had lots of wax and some fulid behind both ears. The doctor feels that she will need tubes but wants to monitor her progress for another month first. Other than that she is doing so well and is such a blessing in our lives.

Everyone ask us about our journey and our adoption. My response has been that no words can ever truly describe the incredible journey we have been on. It has been an amazing ride. We have been so blessed and our hearts overflow with the love that has been conceived through the adoption of our little girl. She has given us more joy in one moment than we can ever give her. Thank you God again and again for this amazing child. For both of our amazing daughters, we have been so blessed.....
