Monday Photos

Discovering the pocket in my ladybug outfit - and liking it!

Giving a smirk and looking out of the corner of my eyes.

Big girl eating with a spoon!

Mmmm .... congee!

With officials when we completed the adoption paperwork Monday morning in Fuzhou. Government official (on the left) and the ladies from the orphanage (on the right).

Laughing at the Notary's Office (We went first and this was during Ray and Fiona's time.) Violet was teasing Tori and laughing about it. Tori was squatting on the floor in front of me, and Violet would put her foot out and tap it against Tori's chest, and then give a little push.

Someday Mom

As a girl I had a common dream, to be a mom someday.

My baby would have eyes of blue and hair the hue of hay.

But now my dreams have been transformed. New visions fill my head.

Now the tresses that I long to stroke are raven black instead.

And in my dreams those eyes are not so big or blue or round.

Now in my dreams they're almond shape and colored cocoa brown.

And in my dream my arms can stretch across enormous seas.

They reach half-way around the world and hold you close to me.

As you grow in your mother's womb, carefully knit together,

Your also growing in my heart, where you will stay forever.

And in my dreams the moment that your mother says good-bye,

I'll be right there to comfort you and hold you as you cry.

Our features may not look alike; we're different as can be.

But still I know the Father has created you for me.

And though I've not yet seen your face, or held your tiny hands,

And though we're half a world apart in very different lands.

I'll be right there to get you just as soon as God allows.

But til he says the time is right I give to you this vow.

I'll pray for your protection every night on bended knee

for God will hold you in his arms, until you're home with me!
