I guess it’s not dry.
Just not overflowing, as is oft the case.
I mean, after I was finally able to share the news about our girl, what else is there?
*insert crickets*
I do have a few Wild Olive tees I want to give away. To the closest guess on my {speculation} post. Which was really, really, really fun. Thanks to everyone who played along. Y’all had some great guesses. And made me giggle more than a few times with your comments.
But there could only be one winner.
Congratulations to Sara. Who said:
What really sealed the deal on Sara’s guess was the “big brown eyes”.
Bingo.
And the other person I want to gift is Melissa. Who inspired our daughter’s name. We’d considered Penelope, but weren’t crazy about the possible nicknames. And we’d considered Poppy, but weren’t too sure it would flow with our other girls’ names. But put the two together?
We, at very long last, had a winner. I read her comment, called my husband and he was in.
And even better... I was in.
Thank you, Melissa, for ending the agony search. We think Penelope fits our girl perfectly. And Poppy? Is the cherry on top.
And thank you to everyone who weighed in on names for our girl. I honestly think those comments should be referenced by every mama searching for the perfect baby name for her girl.
Y’all put a big ol’ grin on my face many times over the last few weeks. And I am so grateful to have this community to share with as we celebrate the addition of Miss Poppy to our family.
Hey. 🙂 I don't really have anything to comment on. I just get tickled pink anytime I happen to be the FIRST to comment! So I guess I will just say WASSUP, STEF! And brag that I got to talk to Mo today too. 🙂 And once again offer my services as chief baggage handler should you require company on your trip to collect Miss Poppy! Love you.
Ah, but the well is just now filling up! 🙂 You are going to have so much more to share and be joyful for (and I can't wait to hear all about it)! Yippee for precious Poppy! What a cutie patootie! 😉 Have a blessed day!
Congratulations!!!! Your girl is adorable! And Penelope aka Poppy is a perfect choice. I'm so happy for her and for all of you!
We all had a great time, too, and it help passed the time when our curiosity was nearly killing us. Penelope is just precious! I'm sure the well won't be dry for long. You are, after all, just starting another amazing journey. For now, just rest up and enjoy the moment.
Oh, Sara…..I love her. Couldn't have picked a better winner myself! 🙂 And….WOW….did she hit it on the head or WHAT?
Just love you Stef. You are so gracious and generous and a beautiful Christian role model.
And I adore Poppy's name…she is so darned cute.
Really- the best post is sharing the great news! AFter that… well… nothing can compare!!
Congrats again- so so happy for you!! We love the name you have chosen!
Pip – this is REALLY growing on me! Anyway – while you are handing out all this love to us – Ya'll make us smile and tear up and laugh too – we love you guys right back!
hugs – aus and co.
AWESOME!!!!!! I just knew she'd be darling!
Wow, who knew playing a fun little game would turn out so well. I think your newest daughter will make a beautiful Penelope, Poppy, Pip.
Where did you get miss Vivi's shirt? I love it.
I've been lurking & loving all your adoption stories!! One of these days God might finally work it out for me to bring my daughter's "sister from a dream" home from Russia, but while I'm waiting I rejoice with others on their adventures!
And…since you chose the name "Penelope", I always think of you when I see it. Like just now when I saw these:

Nice to meet you. Can't wait for you to get Poppy home! 🙂
