Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. (Isaiah 43:5)

Half a Year


It's been half of a year since she joined our family. Six months since Gotcha! I keep recounting the months and checking the calendar because that just can't be right. Hasn't she always been with us? Didn't we just get back from China? I haven't even unpacked. Really. I haven't. In the past six months, Annalyn has been with her family constantly. She has stayed close to her parents, her bubbas, or her grandparents every moment. Maybe it's time to check out the church nursery. She seems as attached as any homegrown child could be. She fits in perfectly. She's just one of the kids. We'll have another visit from the social worker this week. We're still finishing up paperwork. There's still quite a bit to do, but we're on the home stretch. At least, our baby girl is home.
