home for 3 weeks!

For those of you who are waiting to bring your babies home, I always loved looking at the pictures of other peoples kids!

It seems so long ago now that I was on here every day not so patiently waiting to bring Gabriela home! Now that she is home it is like she has always been with us.

It really does happen, they really become our children!


She is truly a joy! Merry Christmas!
