Happy Birthday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
to you.. punkin pie..
Just look at that little baby in her eagle pride shirt! And she's still an eagle!
And she's 16!
16 today, and 16 years ago tomorrow was the day we found out you would be in our family. What a blessing.
It's rare for an adopted child to be placed so quickly after birth, but the right people were on the telephone at the right time.. and whalla, we had the privilege of knowing about you right away!
How exciting, it's a little girl, she's coming, she's on her way to our family. We could start praying and planning for you ..you little punkin pie.
You are dearly loved honey.
It certainly was a wonderful treat for me to be invited to travel along with your mom and dad to bring you home. I loved that! Oh how I loved meeting you in the courtyard, loved looking into your beautiful face and holding you. Snuggling you. And comforting you. Watching your parents make it official and know you had many people waiting to welcome you home, to love you.
How can I express the awe of carrying you onto the airplane? I happened to be holding you when it was time to board for take-off. Sure seemed like one of your parents should "do the honors". "You should carry her on board" I commented but your mom said "no, that's ok you go ahead" and we took you home. Home to us!!! And to the waiting crowd of family and lots of friends at the house who had gathered for a party. A party that would start whenever we arrived from a long drive from the airport, it was 9 p.m., on Oct. 31.
You were 4 months old.
(Good night sister we're all so young!
Must have been the poofy hair decade.)
Of course there are a lot more of us now and a whole lot more silliness.
