Poppy is.
Settling in.
And it is such fun to witness.
She loves to get into the pantry.
Loves to play in the dog’s water bowl.
And, if you hadn’t noticed, loves to put things in her mouth.
She sleeps fairly well.
And she eats like a truck driver.
She’s venturing out around the house.
She’s joining in with the bigger kids.
And starting to feel safe in this big, crazy family.
And the rest of us?
Falling head over heels in love with her.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Oooooh, I knew that scrunchy-nosed grin would come someday! Thank you so much for sharing it with us! Hooray for Poppy!
Just look at that big smile!!!! She is so beautiful!! <3
I am so not surprised! Great to see! Thanks for sharing
Hugs!!
My 7 year old daughter (who is sitting beside me) said it perfectly… “Seriously, she is adorable!” 🙂
So happy for you all! xo

Sweet bliss!
Our God is great and greatly to be praised! What a blessing! “Out of chaos life is being found, in YOU!”
He makes beautiful things~
What a wonderful blessing to see her beginning to blossom! So excited to see what is next for this beauty.
God is so good if we only believe and have faith!
I tried to link up for SS and it will not let me! I have literally tried about 12 times. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Anyway have Sunday Snapshot on my blog.

Looks like she’s getting used to the camera too — what a photogenic beauty!
It never ceases to amaze me how quickly these precious children go from terrified and oh-so-sad, to laughing and smiling. Beautiful pics! Beautiful daughter. What a blessing!
What a bright smile! Loving her dearly over here in Missouri.
Oh Stefanie! She doesn’t even look like the same girl!

What a sweetie! She sounds a lot like Chloe, getting into the dog water is a daily battle 🙂
My girl loves playing in the dog’s water bowl too…she especially likes to get the antique measuring spoons out of the drawer and play in it…I’ve even caught her tasting the water from the spoons. Ugh….
So glad Poppy is settling in…She’s such a sweet little girl!
So awesome! God is sooo good! 🙂

Hi Stefanie,
Poppy looks as if she is absolutely having a blast. It is such a blessing to see her beginning to blossom and be comfortable in her new environment. Her story has captured my heart from the very beginning, and it is so wonderful to see it all unfold. 🙂 Steven Curtis Chapman’s song: ‘All Things New’ is what comes to mind when I see her 🙂 She certainly is a new creature, in a loving family, and in Christ!
Love always,
Diane
What wonderful blessings! May I never take for granted all these precious little things from our precious little people!
So glad she’s feeling at home! Speaking of home, are you in your new one?
That baby girl gets more and more adorable each day! Wait…is that even possible??!!!!
She steals my heart! She is just darling and so happy and relaxed looking. Why wouldn’t she be? She’s right where she belongs.
Oh my! I just don’t think that she could be any cuter!
I’m SO glad to see that she’s settling in. What a difference from the first pictures you shared of her. How’s Vivi handling having some of the attention taken away from her? I hope that she’s going well as well. Thanks for all the great updates. LOVE to see the pics of all of your little ones… So adorable!!!
What a sweet transformation! God is so good to restore so quickly that which was lost! I absolutely love Poppy’s smile and the sparkle in her eyes that wasn’t there when you were in China! Blessings to you and your family!
So glad you guys are doing well! And it’s so encouraging to see this sweet girl smile and how resilient these kids are. I just keep dreaming of when it’s my turn….DTC 8-16-11!! Whoo hoo!!
What a beautiful little girl you have there!
