Today is my birthday! And it's been the best ever!!
I got this text at 9:48 am...
SO excited!! That is one of the things we have been praying for!
Then at 10:20 am I got an e-mail with pictures of Mary-Lynn wearing the outfit and headband we sent in her birthday box, and playing with the toys we sent!!
Of course, I was sitting there sobbing even trying to look at the pictures. Matthew comes over and starts patting my arm saying, "It's ok mommy, I'm right here, it's ok!" Sweet baby!!
Caleb, our oldest son, is in Kentucky on a mission trip with our church youth group. I sent him the close up picture of his baby sister. I just love his response! (but excuse his spelling, haha!)
The e-mail with the pictures also had a message from the orphanage director. She said Mary-Lynn "is running and laugh openly." It's bittersweet! So excited that she is walking because she was not when Britt met her at 2 1/2 years old, but she is growing and learning new things without us. Please pray that we will pass court with written orders on July 15 (the 14th for us!). July 15th is exactly a year that we were matched with our daughter! We are so ready to hop on a plane and bring our baby girl HOME!!
We appreciate the prayers from all of you! Please keep them coming!
