New Years Eve

New Years Eve


This is an older photo of you taken before you were with us by your foster mother. It is a favorite of mine; you are so beautiful in this photo....it is also a photo that i have put in a frame to keep. Every time i look at this photo, it makes me smile knowing that you are my daughter.

It is New Years Eve....and you are safely tucked in bed in your new Tinkerbell pjs. You are so cute in them; i'll take a photo in the morning so you can see just how beautiful you are. You are changing daily and your personality is starting to shine thru; you do this cute snorting thing where you srunch up your nose. You have a laugh that warms my soul, little one. You seem to be happy and know that we love you and that you are safe here with us.....and that knowledge is good to have. I hope that you will always feel that we are your safe place.

It will be a quiet New Years Eve and New Years Day for us. Your three cousins and Aunt Claudine and Uncle Troy left this morning and i was sad to see them go. You were facinated with Viktoria and she was with you. In fact, she wanted to know if she could "borrow" you to take home for a while! She wants a sister and you seem to fit the bill! Viktoria loved to hug you....and you let her. It was fun to watch the two of you together.

Hopes for the New Year? Everyone seems to have a list a mile long for such things, but my list this year is short: for you to be a happy healthy little girl and for us to continue to be a happy family. This life that i have with you and your Daddy is more that i had ever hoped to have. I feel so blessed and so very thankful every morning when i wake up. And when i hear you and your Daddy play "i'm-going-to-get-the-baby-belly" my soul fills with gratitued. You and your Daddy fill my soul....

Happy First New Years, Emma!

Love you to the moon and back.....

Mommy
