I had some relatively quiet time tonight to sit down and reminisce the past twelve weeks, and wow, how time has flown! The magnitude of the moment of Ava's birth came through again to me in pictures tonight. I still just sit and look at her and those pictures and wonder...
I went to my dentist today, and the women there know our story, and they got to meet Ava for the first time. Everyone marvels at the story. I tell them that God is just marvelous and can do exceedingly more than we could possibly ask or imagine! Not sure I'll ever look at an ice cream cone the same way... I'm still so overwhelmed by the timing of everything and how quickly it happened!
The pictures here show Ava sucking her thumb minutes after birth. I'm convinced that she sucked that little thumb in the womb. Just the last week or so, she's starting to find it again.
Tomorrow, we're on our way to Nashville to get re-fingerprinted for our China adoption - just one last road to travel to bring Maia home next year. We're also in the process of getting documents county and state certified - just a little more red tape to cut through to bring her home. I told someone the other day that if I had to roast marshmallows on a boat in the middle of the ocean to bring her home, I would!
I hope everyone is having a great week. It's raining here, and naps are calling my name this week!
