Happy Mother's Day to me!

My first Mother's day... what a blessing!  I have had Lucy with me for 4 weeks (as of yesterday) and it feels like she's always been here.  She's just lovely.  I have been a little emotional the last few days.  It's like it just hits me in a wave of wonder--she's my daughter.  She counts on me and I count on her.  We just belong together... I prayed SO for God to put just the right child in my life, and He's done it so well.

A few more beautiful moments I found on my camera:



(One of her first days home.  We had her nap on the dining room table so that we could all admire her.)


(a little shell-shocked after the clinic (check out the 5 band-aids!)--but now we know she's a healthy girl!)


(oohh, look at those curls!)


And today on Mother's Day:



(She looks a little skeptical, but I think she loves me!)
