our baby

Vivienne is the baby of our big brood.


And she steals the show.


When she talks, everyone listens.


When she points, everyone looks.


When she asks, everyone answers.


When she fusses, everyone comes running.


When she entertains, everyone laughs.


And when Vivienne smiles, everyone smiles.

Being the baby sure looks good on her.

    Stephanie, she is adorable and I have enjoyed following your blogs through the last three adoptions. I am going to write our story and send it to No Hands But Ours when we have more answers as to what Lilah's surgeries will entail (craniofacial Cleft)… But Vivi is gorgeous!

    Absolutely precious! I sure wish God would grant me a RHW (not to mention funding) so we could add another to our crew.

    Hi Stefanie! I checked your blog when we got back from China, but I wasn't able to comment. I wanted to say hello since I've had time to catch up with your blog since last week and see the updated photos of Miss Vivi! What a little DIVA! Or can you say little and DIVA in the same sentence?

    I sent you a link to our blog (xmarksthespotinchina). I hope you were able to get the link and access our blog. The heart cath is scheduled for tomorrow and heart surgery next Thursday.

    It was wonderful to meet you in China and I look forward to keeping up with Vivi and the rest of your family through your blog.

    Blessings,

    Carey

    Not everyone can say that. In fact, when my family tells me *I'M* the baby – it usually isn't pretty!!

    Vivienne is such an adorable baby – I love hearing about her (& seeing her of course!)

    Come on, plan that trip to Iowa City already!
