Miss E

We just spent the most fun weekend getting to know our new daughter!

After meeting her last week, we had to decide on her name,

and after much consideration, we came up with one we could

all agree on!  But on the blog she will be known as Miss E from now on.

On Saturday we were able to bring all the boys up to meet

their new sister.  It took her a little bit to warm up to them,

but then she started having fun- giving them hugs and smiles.

We went swimming, to the park, and played in her foster

family's backyard.  She is just so so precious. (:

We are all smitten with her!

Everywhere she goes her entourage follows her around,

attending to the "princess's" every need!

I'm sure that won't last forever, but we do all

love her so much and think she's just perfect for us. (:

Then on Sunday after church somebody said,

"I wish we could go see Miss E again."

So, on the spur of the moment we all hopped

in the car, drove the 2 1/2 hours to get there,

 and spent some more time with her!

She is getting more relaxed and comfortable with us

all the time, smiling, laughing and talking more and more.

Of course, all our boys had to give her a proper

introduction to our family, so we went to Cabela's. (:

We also went to the park and out to eat.

It was so much fun and it was so hard to leave!

Hopefully she will be home to stay in a few weeks.

And YES, those two years of waiting were worth it!

For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;

his faithfulness continues through all generations.

Psalm 100:5
