Ten Ways to Describe Our Sweet Girl:)

I said in the post before this one that I didn't sleep well last night due to a cappucino. Well, after much tossing and turning this is what I began to think about...Betsy! This precious child is a pure delight. Now this doesn't mean she's perfect and there are no issues, but she is a unique little girl. She is truly a gift from God! This is what I came up with to let you know more about her.

Brave

Extrovert

Tickleish

Sassy

Yogurt Lover

Extremely Girly

Very Smart

Awesome at Coloring

Never Gives Up

Special

Oh I love the last picture. To see her cradled in her Daddy's arms. She's all safe and sound and looks so peaceful. He looks like he's pretty smitten too. Praying for your trip home We can't wait to meet her.
