On Sunday morning we got an amazing surprise- more photos of the Cupcake!
I do love the shirt she's wearing, which says "I'm Gorgeous."
Anyway, the wait is not getting easier. The photos help a whole lot, but with each new picture, I see all the tiny changes that we are missing, and how our little baby girl is becoming less of of a baby and more of a girl. Yes, I know at 6-months-and-3-weeks she's still a baby, but I miss her terribly and I can't wait to get her in my arms.
For those counting (*clearsthroat*Nicole*clearsthroat*), we are:
- two weeks post LID
- one week into May
- three weeks 'til June (June being estimated travel)
One week down, three weeks to go. That's not definite, but the magic month for me is June.
I saw some videos of the orphanage our daughters are in (taken by volunteers earlier this year) and it just made my impatience explode. However, I am more convinced than ever that the children are VERY well cared for and VERY much adored by the women and volunteers at the orphanage. All the children looked so happy, healthy, and curious, and in tune with everything. All the nannies and volunteers were being swarmed with kids constantly, little smiling faces begging for hugs and kisses and love. There was lots of playing and singing and activity. It was so amazing to watch.
Hey, I found out that half the emails I previously sent out with Cupcake's photos never made it to their intended destinations. I think the size of the email with the photos may have tripped some spam filters out there. So if you asked me for photos and I never responded, that may be why. I finally decided to put the photos up on a private web page on my server to try and solve that problem, as well as using it as a source for my family to see the latest. There are now 12 photos. If you want the URL, let me know. I'd be happy to share The Gorgeousness that is Cupcake with all who wants to see ;)
