Lilypie 2nd Birthday Ticker

Yesterday was... 2 months home!!!

Yesterday, June 22, marked 2 months since Gabi came home. Well, 'home' is used loosely in this particular situation considering the chaos we've been dealing with since then. Nevertheless, this child is curious, sassy, loving, funny and smart, smart, smart!!! She has learned about 15-18 signs that she uses regularly. She has a great receptive vocabulary. She is so interested in how things work. She won't take no for an answer and she shows great boldness in everything she does.

Gabriella Lilisol is the joy of our lives and we can't imagine anything without her. Edward says to me every day, "Could you just watch her forever? I can't stop looking at her." He no longer feels as if she isn't ours. Neither do I. She is an A. for sure. We are blessed beyond measure. After all the heartache, our cup runneth over.

Ditto! Ditto! Ditto!
The sweating runs in the family, sorry.
She is an absolutely perfect fit. We all feel blessed. Do you think she'll ever know how lucky she is to be in your family? Just 11 days now til we're there. Can't wait.
Love you all too much,
Mom, Dad, GG, and Grumps

Congratulations on 2 months as well as a successful move. We can't wait to experience the joy of having Madison home, it has been way too long of a wait but all we can do is keep praying God will bring her home soon.

Gabi is absolutely beautiful and looks every bit at home in all your pictures.

LUCKY to be in this family? Well at the very least she will likely always be the most sane.

finney still uses the sign for 'please' when he says it. the girls used 'eat' until they were about 2 every time they said it - especially in the wee hours when they first woke up.
