So much to share but for now, going to snuggle back into bed and wait for my precious to wake. Don't want to miss being there the very first time she awakes in her new home!
Will share more as I can. Thank you once again for all your prayers, love and support!!

I don't know why but the lyrics from the song from The Sound of Music","Getting To Know You" just keep running through my head as I imagine a wonderfully special time with just you and Hannah,home at last, together,getting to know each other.
ReplyDeleteNow... Someone is going to have to tell us the name/brand of that wonderfully magical ball toy that Hannah seems to love. I have a granddaughter that exact age and "Santa" needs to know!
