our friends met her!!

I was so excited to hear Sunday morning that our friends met our baby. :) They were able to hold her and love on her and tell her "mommy and daddy are coming soon". This family goes to school and church with us and they are adopting an eight year old girl and bringing her home Friday. Amazingly she and our baby ended up in the same room at the foster home. Usually babies are in one area and the older girls are somewhere else. But our friend said that our little one was sleeping in the big girl room in a toddler bed. I hope she will like her crib for a while once she is home. I think being with the older girls will help prepare her to be a little sister once she is home. Our friends said she was beautiful and she laughed when they talked to her. Love it!! I can't imagine how I will feel when I see our friends at the airport with their daughter who we have prayed home since last summer. What a wonderful sight that will be!! Hoping to hear about a court date soon....
