It's A Girl!

We're expecting! No, it's not what you think......................

We are adopting a beautiful little girl from Mexico. She is 4 years old and will turn 5 on our wedding anniversary this year. How cool is that?

I have started an adoption blog with a little of her story and some pictures. I'll be adding more as we go along. We hope to bring her home this summer.

Here's the blog:  Once Upon A Time

So, without further ado, introducing Carmelita...............

(I figured I might as well put a picture of her eating, because she loves to eat!) We got to go spend a few days with her recently. She is wonderful and we are all very excited about bringing her home to her forever family!!!

She is really small. She has Down Syndrome, but is very high functioning and can do anything! (trust us.. she made even us nervous when she was climbing up things...... I think she'll try anything!) She is very smart too. At school, she is the first one done in her group all the time. We got to visit her school one day, too. It was really neat.

She is very loving and is a very happy person. She really enjoys life. I'm sure you'll get a hug if you meet her.

We can't wait to see her again.

Please pray that the process will go smoothly and that she will be home this summer. She has never had a family, as she was abandoned at the hospital at birth because she had Down Syndrome. She has always lived at the orphange.

She is just precious and we love her so much already! Thank you for praying for us and for her.
