Caroline slept on the couch the entire time, missed the whole thing, but did not barf at all, so for that I'm thankful! She has been wiped out all day.
Our new friends baby was there, so I grabbed their camera and went and took a bazillion pics for them. Right as I'm giving the camera back, our guide says, "she's here". Next thing I know Mark is pushing me over to the door and this happens.
They hand over Emma Grace.
We are stunned.
So is she!
She had been on a bus for 8 hours, taken inside and handed over to us.
Caroline finally pepped up and started playing with her. Caroline kept saying, "she's so cute, I wish I could touch her!" We told her to stay a bit away so Emma wouldn't get sick! When Emma cries, and she does, she opens her mouth wide, with no sound, and then tears come. After the tears comes a quiet cry. She is so tiny. I told Mark I'm afraid I'll break her. She has given us some sweet smiles though, like this one.
What a doll! We are so very thankful to be at this day. Right now as I type everyone is sleeping. Pray for us as we adjust and pray for Caroline and Mark to regain health and strength. Thankful that you are sharing our joy with us!
