A Healthy Dose of "The Mia" - Smile my friends

OK Kelly the little Mia has laid claim again to the Princess throne! We've really got to get our little ones together someday.

Thank you to all of you for your continued support of us. It is so cool how much love Mia has received from all of you. I'm glad she can bring a smile to your face as well. Whether your just beginning, rolling through the process, or wondering when it will ever end, let Mia's smile be a reminder to be strong as it is our babies we are doing this for. Both Kristina and I have wanted to quit many times since we started. However the Lord continually reminds us that He never gave up on us and we were a much harder case than Mia's! He shows us that no matter how difficult it is to go through our trials, that quitting is not an option. The only one who loses would be Mia. Knowing that fact and the fact that God has led us to her and has brought us through thus far is our only strength to carry on today.

With that I give you Princess Mia II. Kelly, do you have any of the other Princess to add to this?

Cody,

She is a very beautiful little princess! I love that grin on her face and the sparkle in her eyes! Thanks again, as always, for your encouraging and uplifting words! I look back and see how God has brought us this far from exactly one year ago next week! We had not ever even entertained the idea of adoption... The Lord just laid it on our hearts and made it crystal clear that this is what He wanted us to do. Now, I can't imagine my life without Luke, and wonder why I never thought about adopting before! Almost exactly one year from the time we listened to what God was telling us, we're bringing our baby home.. all throughout this process, we have seen time after time, amazing things, that only God could have done! I have grown as a Christian by leaps and bounds just seeing how faithful God is and by seeing so many prayers answered! I'm very, very thankful that God has allowed us to go through this process quickly, and smoothly and that He's bringing Luke to us very soon! I hope things work out very soon for you with Mia's BC and that you're able to bring her home with you when you come back after Easter! You're in my prayers, as always!

Take care,
Judy

The Royal Nap

The Princess had just risen from her royal nap. She agreed to the photo but refused to be photographed without the hardware. Don't worry, the sprout will return! Still waiting to hear something...tick tock

Cody,
She is soooooo precious. I am so glad for you. Did you actually bring her and Kristen home yet? Things were quiet for you lately, thought you had traveled to get your girls. Can't wait to hear from you.

Princess Mia is so beautiful! Her expressions are priceless too. I think all little girls are princesses, and my 2 year old would agree. The other day, a waiter asked her what her name was and she replied, "Princess"!!! Too cute!

I'm jealous! No, not really, just think she is so precious and wish I were suffering waiting for pink instead of at the beginning! You have a great trip and hopefully you won't be traveling alone on the way home!

She is such a doll... can't wait until Princess Mia comes home with her Mommy. You know you have a ministry here Cody; we will still need our fixes of all of you together! I pray you bring them home with you this trip!

Judy, I just add to tell you that we started one year ago March 16th and if you had told me on March 1st of that year that I would be a mother one year later, I would not have believed you. God is good and this process does build your faith. Cody, you definetly have a ministry here.
