Empty arms, heavy hearts

We had some tragedy in our little family recently.
We were chosen as adoptive parents in December for a child to be delivered this month. A precious baby girl made her dramatic appearance on Friday January 18th at 2:29pm. She weighed 6 lb. 10oz. at birth and measured 19.5 inches. Her birthmother requested that we attend her birth, which we throughly appreciated. We brought her home the following Sunday night and cared for her until Saturday January 26th when Dave placed her back into her birthmother's arms as I wept. We had so hoped that this little one was our daughter and sister and are sad that we had to say goodbye.
Darien was interested to feed her and change her diaper and clean her bottles. What love and hope coming from a little heart.

Bootiful sty

Yesterday we were traveling near sunset and Darien looked out the windshield and said "Dod did a dood job make a bootiful sty, it's orange and puple". Translated from his language into ours it was "God did a good job making a beautiful sky, it's orange and purple".
