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.
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.
Falling head over heels in love with her.

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. ๐ Steven Curtis Chapman’s song: ‘All Things New’ is what comes to mind when I see her ๐ She certainly is a new creature, in a loving family, and in Christ!
Love always,
Diane
