Two months forever home

Dear Yeabsira Grace

Today marks the two month forever home mark.   The 23rd is so special to us because it was the date of your homecoming and the day you changed our lives forever (referral day 12-23-11).  

We have made the decision that we love your Ethiopian name so much we are having a hard time switching to Grace.  We will keep the Grace but make that your middle name.  As you get older you can decide which you want to introduce yourself as but for now we love to see your smiling face when we say Yeabsira.    

Our lives have changed so much in the last two months.  Ways I could not imagine.  Our house now closely resembles a toy store.  The furniture has been rearranged so you have a runway for your crawling and pulling up adventures.  Meals are more organized and planned out.  We are both learning how to multi task and learned how to do things with one arm.  The best part of all the change is instead of looking at a picture of your beautiful face we get to see you right here in the living room finding your newest mischief to get into!!

 We had professional pictures taken by mommy's college friend Meryl Johnson. They are beautiful and you were so great!!  Ten years ago Meryl and I were helping seniors move in to Le Moyne ( great school -- no pressure)!!  I can't wait to see what happens in the next ten years!!

 You looked beautiful in all your pictures and make us smile every day.  We love your smile as well!!  You have such a great giggle.  Lucky for us, you find us hysterical.

 You have recently pull up on EVERYTHING.  If it holds still you want to get as high as you can.  This includes your mommy and daddy.  You are so strong and fearless.

 You love to see new things, you get very excited when we walk into a store.  Wegmans is your favorite.  Anything you see that you can touch you instantly put in your mouth.

We love all your funny faces!!  

We love you!!

Thank you for bringing so much joy into our lives!!  We love you!!
