Reverently, Quietly....

Can it really be true?!?!? My sweet baby is ready for nursery!?!?!? HALLELUJAH!

We've been practicing folding arms and being reverent...Briella can do it for almost 5 seconds, now!

Isn't she a sweetie?!?!? Of course, this is NOT how she looked after the first three minutes of nursery...she was brought to me in Primary with red teary eyes and a big drippy nose, poor thing! Dad has been taking Ellie in for the second hour of nursery for the last few weeks, but she wasn't prepared to be left there! It'll take a few more weeks (not months, I hope) to have a successful transition, but its gotta be better than being passed back and forth between Daddy in YM and Momma in Primary, don't ya' think?

How in the world did 18 months go by so quickly? We are so grateful for our darling daughterl, and can't imagine what life would be like without her! We are reminded more times than we can count of the sacrifice that was made by Briella's birth mother in placing this darling girl in our home! We know Heavenly Father worked miracles on our behalf, and we will always carry a deep love and gratitude for the wonderful way Ellie became a part of our forever family!

She is so cute! I just love that dress on her. I'll pray for you that nursery will go better next week. Although, she is one strong willed little girl.

Oh my heck Catherine. How did you manage to wind up with such individually adorable kids? That Ellie is a total doll. I hope one day I get to meet her. Maybe on our homeschool field trip that we plan huh? :)
