WE ARE FINALLY HOME!!!

I just wanted to update everyone. We flew into Salt Lake last night, with two very sweet little girls, Precious and Sandra. They did so great on both flights, and were very excited and some what shy to see their families. I will post more later on my adventure in Ghana later. I just wanted to share the GOOD news.

Guess Where I'm Going????

I'll give you 3 guesses and the first 2 don't count.

If your guess was GHANA, you win!!

Our adoption is finally done!! Kingsley has our decree in his hand!!!!
It still seems too good to be true. But we have a daughter waiting for us in Ghana.

I will be leaving on Sunday morning. I can't wait to get my arms around our sweet little Precious. I can't express how much I appreciate Kingsley, he has worked so hard to get this adoption done. At times it seemed it would never happen, but Heavenly Father had a plan. The first time I looked at this picture of Precious, I knew she was ours.
It has been 8 months, an emotional roller coaster ride with highs and lows. But I always knew it would happen, and she would be part of our family. As Kingleys always says, God is good. He is very good.

Someone Needs Your Star

I love this song!!! My daughter Lindsey had me listen to it on Saturday, she said it made her think of the children at Luckyhill. So I decided to put some pictures to the music. The song is by Jenny Phillips. I hope you all enjoy.

Update???

I was just talking with Bryce, saying that I needed to update my blog, but I don't know what to write about. His comment was "Mom, you don't have to blog only about Precious. You could blog about me!!" So here is a post about Bryce.

Such a cute baby, don't you think?

Bryce is a very sound sleeper, a bomb could go off and he wouldn't even flinch. That's why he wet the bed until he was 15 years old. Ha Ha! Just kidding.

I hope that doesn't embarrass you too much Bryce.

No Comment!!!

Be careful what you ask for Bryce.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

On Sunday April 5th Kingsley, the school and orphange director, had a birthday!!!

It was so fun to what the children singing to him.

He was teasing me because I am older that he is. But in my defense only by about 6 months. Actually I was feeling very old, he and Gloria were amazed that I'm a grandma.

Like a true lady, I will not post my age, and no you can't ask Kingsley how old he is either!!

Pictures of Precious

I am missing this little girl soooo much. So I thought I would post some pictures of our little Precious. Is she a beauty or what???







I also had the awesome opportunity to meet Patience, she is Precious's mother. We were able to go to her home, where she showed us pictures of Precious when she was a baby. This brought me to tears. I would have never in a million years thought I would see pictures of Precious as a baby.
She is so dang cute!!!



I can't wait to get this sweet little girl home!!!!
