Just chillin’




We’ve been taking it easy lately, staying up late and sleeping in until about 10:00. The girls woke up this morning and decided to continue chillin’. Sophie climbed up on the couch and set herself up with a pillow and her thumb to watch her show with Isabelle. I have to admit, when I first saw Sophie sucking her thumb it was endearing but also a little unsettling, too. I’ve never had a thumbsucker and have always been irritated to see older toddlers with their thumbs in their mouths crying for candy at Wal-Mart. God has a sense of humor and He blessed me with the cutest thumbsucker ever. I have gotten used to it, and she only sucks it when she’s sleepy, so we’re not discouraging it when she does it. How could you say “no” to that sweet face?!?

    Oh Stefanie!! I SO LOVE your blog and posts AND I am smitten with your precious girls!! Sisters! You must know that I am anxiously & eagerly anticipating seeing MY two girls together… attaching! Bonding! You o KNOW that it was You & GOD that prompted me to “look into” the waiting child program! And Selah was just WAITING for us! NOW I can only KNOW that because of her adoption….her eye… that we were called for Shaylee! GOD does work in most interesting & creative ways!

    Keep the photos coming!! I LOVE em!

    That *is* the cutest thumb-sucker ever…she’s so gorgeous, and I loved (lurking) following your journey to China. I even gasped at her poor, little black eye, as if I were an auntie or Chinese grandma. :o)

    Can you tell me where I can get a green outfit like Sophie is wearing?? CUTE! Oh no…my word verification is “lyeloe”—do you think that’s DH telling me to quit buying clothes??? lol

ways to make a difference

proceed with caution

a dirty secret in adoption
we don't celebrate gotcha day
there's no such thing as an easy adoption
if I can, you can.
co-sleeping, why we do it.
gawsh. the series.
