We are HOME!!!!

I am so thankful to finally be able to write those words! Our sweet girl has been in our arms for 10 days now! It is still a little hard to believe, but she is doing awesome! We have already seen such great progress in just 10 days, it's amazing.  God truly answered our prayers to prepare her for a family.  Our days spent in Ethiopia were good- and our trip was much shorter this time. But it allowed us a few days to bond before we got on the daunting 15 hour flight home. Yes, I said 15 hours- with a 2 year old who doesn't really know us. To say we were nervous was a bit of an understatement. Thankfully- she did awesome and she slept for about 13 hours of the flight- praise the Lord! Her bonding and attachment and trust of us is going great as well! She is extremely attached to me, although she's still not so sure about my hubby.  But she feels comfortable enough with him to let him feed her, which is great! She is sleeping and eating like a champ- and we are all happier when we get some sleep!! She really is just doing so great, and we are so thankful! Thank you all for your prayers over this last leg of the journey. It has been a crazy ride and we are glad to finally be on this side of the process, with our precious girl home!! I was trying to sneak this post in while she napped this morning- but she's awake and busy now so I will update more later. But here are some pictures from our first week together! At the bottom are some pictures of my first attempt at doing her hair. She has so much hair and I have so much to learn!!
