And away she goes.....

A lot has happened this past week! It's official. Eliza is finally crawling..and getting into EVERYTHING! And..her first tooth is finally coming through.Maybe now the amount of drool POURING out of her mouth will decrease? Haha.

As of Tuesday, Eliza is officially stuck with us...for good; even though she's been ours, in our opinion, since December 23rd. Now the state of Nebraska has made it legal.  I didn't really think it would make me feel any different but it did. It made me step back and remember how blessed we are. As we walked out of that courtroom, I looked at MY beautiful daughter and felt my heart bursting with joy..and a sense of peace and finality. She is ours and nobody can change that. God is good.

So yeah, there's been a lot of changes going on here. And HOPEFULLY more to come by the end of October..like moving into our house. If everything goes according to plan. But then again, it never really works out that way does it? Ha.

BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL

 

 

                                                   Adoption Day!

One lucky little girl

  Today, we received a package from Christine (Eliza's birth mother) It was full of all kinds of great stuff.(Thought I would include a list of stuff just in case you can't make it all out in the photo:*you can click on the things that are underlined to see pictures of them* 3 large colorful cloth flowers, a flower covered sleeping bag, soft cuddly blanket, a pink rosary, monkey and wiener dog beanie babies, 2 decorative ABC block boxes, a crazy Seasame Street Shake, Giggle and Roll Ball, Penguin Bowling set, a little kid CD player, a picture made by Christine with Eliza's name on it/heart, 3 Baby Einstein DVD's, Dora the Explorer and Diego DVD, and her new favorite toy-a Kick and Play piano.)  Eliza was in heaven. How lucky is she to have a Mom and a Birth-Mom to spoil her rotten!
  It was soo good to finally hear from Christine as we hadn't since January. She is doing GREAT! She wrote us a very nice letter and also wrote a separate letter for Eliza. Hopefully this month we can get up to Omaha and meet up with her:)
 Nothing else too new and exciting here. Eliza is getting ready to crawl. I'm just waiting for her to take off any day now. Then, it will be trouble!

I don't know if she has enough stuff

Just being cute

Again, with the cuteness

"I am soooo big!"

She LOVES story-time!
