New Pictures of Mariah!

We could not have gotten a better Christmas Present. Well, maybe a travel assignment, but pictures are the next best thing. We sent a care package to Mariah's orphanage a few weeks ago and we just received 13 pictures of our little angel. She seems so happy and loved it makes us feel so blessed that she is being taken care of so well! We sent here an outfit with tinkerbelle on it, she is wearing it in the pictures. Marissa made her a photo frame that we put Ryan, Marissa and Mya in and Marissa also made her a crown. The pictures are much better in real life, for I have to crop the other people out.

We also sent some items for the orphanage which included crafts and the caretakers sent the most heart warming pictures of the excited children doing the crafts. I of course could not post all the children, but take my word for it, it was so amazing to see how happy the simple things make a group of children. They were so grateful! I cried to see such joy!

Oh, how my heart longs for our little girl. I truly think of nothing else! I open my eyes, I see her. I close my eyes, there she is again. I fall asleep, we meet there too! I wish God's timing would hurry up and get here!!!! But until then, my heart grows more in love with a smiling, sweet, precious little girl that was destined by faith to be my little girl!

Merry Christmas to all and I will post as soon as we have a travel date which grows closer every day!
