2013

We are welcoming a new year with the hope that we will spend eleven of the twelve months in 2013 with our daughter. Currently we are anxiously awaiting our court date. The hope is that it falls in February! That means we are down to a one-month wait. One month sounds manageable. Her room is ready, and we are more than ready. I love peeking in her room at different times of the day to imagine her in there playing, sleeping in a warm bed, reading, smiling, and laughing. The granny blanket on her bed is perhaps my favorite item in her room so far.

I will try to do a better job of documenting our journey over the next month. It seems more productive to stare at the gorgeous smile on our little one’s face than to write about how painful this wait is. We will see what unfolds in the next few weeks!
