So Much To Say

There's been so much going on that it's hard to know where to start. So let's start with the Grace update. I received updated photos of her yesterday and she looks so great! She has a ton of hair, her face is filing out and she has a sly little smile in one of them. The family who took the picture was in Ethiopia last week and they just got back over the weekend. I was so grateful at how quickly they got me the photos. I never expected to get them so quickly. I guess since they know what it's like to wait they understand how desperate you are for any update. They also said that she is a sweetie pie and likes people and to be held. They also reassured me that the care she is receiving is exceptional and that she is being loved on. I know that's the case but it's still so nice to hear it from someone who has seen it in person. They are also mailing me a short video they took of her. I can't believe that in a couple of days I could actually see her moving and hear what she sounds like. It's so exciting and I can't wait to get it.

Grace's room is pretty much done and I have to say that I love it to pieces. It really matches the vision I had in my head. So here are the before and after pictures.

I really love the way it turned out. The last picture shows the adorable onesie that Auntie Andrea and Uncle Rob sent. I can't wait to take a picture of Grace in it.
