A Blessing


Lydia and I get to spend a ton of time together!
Lately its been just the two of us as we pack up our house and get ready to go join up with Jeff whose been in Alabama for over 2 weeks already!!
We miss Jeff terribly!

But we've still been having fun!

Lydia is the most amazing little girl!
Everyday I feel soo thankful that she is in my life
I am so thankful and amazed at how good of a girl she is!
Tonight as we went through our nightly routine I was just amazed by how great Lydia is! We started our with brushing her teeth and she opened up wide and smiled the whole time! Next we said a prayer and Lydia folded her arms and when I peeked she had her head bowed and her eyes closed tight! She did'nt want to stop praying so I think we ended up saying 3 or 4 prayers! I guess i kept missing something haha!To see such a small person being so reverent just blew me away! After the story I set her in her crib and got the cutest smile which said see ya in the morning!
Lydia is an amazing eater and will eat or at least try anything in front of her!
Lydia loves people and doesnt take very long to warm up to!
Lydia has a great personality and loves to make people laugh! She's always up for a good time!
Lydia rarely frowns or is grumpy, and if she is you can snap her out of it pretty fast! She is mostly all smiles!
Lately Lydia has been very nurturing and loves to give hugs or pat my back or my cheeks!
Lydia is a tough little girl and will try her hardest not to cry if she gets hurt!
I couldnt go on and on....
Ohh how I just LOVE LYDIA! She is my little buddy and I'm so grateful for all of her smiles and reminders of what is important in life!!
I couldn't ask for a better little girl to be placed in our home and I am so honored to be able to raise her!

awe! I'm right there with you. My little guy doesn't have a lot of action right now, but he smiles and after he's done sneezing he has this cute little "coo" sound he makes. Babies are the best!
