It's a Girl!



We saw her picture a week ago but today it's official.  AAI email this morning with the good word that we can give our entire hearts away to her.  She is the sweetest little 5 to 7 year old girl with the most adorable big, brown eyes and pink lips.  We are hopelessly in love.  



Some fun facts about little Miss B -

She is a slightly shy little girl with a very sweet spirit.
She is super cute.
She is in excellent health and is described as happy and social.
She loves to help with the younger kids and babies and play with her
friends.
She loves to practice letters and numbers.
She wants to be a nurse when she grows up.
She's wearing a size 4T.
Her waiting animal is the bumble bee (get it...Miss B!)



Last night Noah's prayer went like this - 
"Jesus, thank you for the awesome, awesome, awesome new sister...Mom what's her name again...Oh ya B... what an amazing blessing Jesus."  I love that boy, and I love that he is so ready to be a brother again!  He did make it clear that he does not want her sleeping in his bed, and that we do not have room in our KIA for her so we need to get a new, must faster car.  


My check list is trying to come out of the drawer but I'm working hard to leave it alone.  But maybe, God willing, by summer our family of 5 will be together.  And maybe we can go to Ethiopia this winter to give Miss B a kiss and tell her that we choose her forever to be ours.  And maybe she will feel like she has a place to belong.
