Dear Jesus

Merry Christmas sweet baby girl. I know you won't see this today but someday when you do read this you'll know I was thinking of you. I hope you know you are loved beyond measure and held very dear to my heart. This is the 3rd Christmas we will spend apart since we started the adoption process. Dear Jesus, please make it the last. Love you sweet darling! Missing you today more than you know.

Love forever and always,
Mommy

Merry Christmas!!!

Daddy's Trip

pretty girl:)

silly!!!

Esther & Sophiana:)

sweet baby

Daddy took Esther and Sophiana to a restaurant. They had pizza, french fries and coke! What a treat:) It was even air conditioned... but the girls froze since they are not used to that. Imagine when they get to Maine!
Overall, it was a good trip! Esther wanted Daddy to hold her lots which was nice. She was sick for some of the time but feeling a bit better by the end of the trip. Sophiana spent most of the time with them as well. She made sure Esther towed the line:)

Esther Florial Short

It's official... we have legally adopted Esther in Haiti. Praise the Lord! Her name is now Esther Florial Short:) We have to wait for her passport and visa to be issued so we can legally bring her into the US. The process will still take several months but we are headed in the right direction and for that we are thankful!

Happy 3rd Birthday!

Happy 3rd Birthday sweet baby girl! What a blessing it is to share such a special day with someone as precious as you. I am praying this is the last birthday that we will spend apart. Next year I hope to have one whopping party, not only to celebrate our birthdays, but to celebrate the fact that we're together! Love you to the moon and back!

Love,
Mommy xoxo
