Finding A New Normal...


Life has been beautifully busy! We made two different out of town trips to see family for Christmas and Karleigh Mei got to meet ALL of her first cousins! She has 18 first cousins--and one on the way! I haven't had the chance to go through my pictures yet and load them (I will do that in the next day or two), but I did come across these pictures that were right before Christmas and I thought they were sweet

Lexie and Katie babysat Karleigh Mei one night while Karl and I did some Christmas shopping. The girls had too much fun with her, painting fingernails, playing dress-up, and playing with some stickers that Matti's mom sent (thank you Tonya!).


She LOVED these stickers...the girls said she was busy playing with them for a long time!

I love this picture of Karleigh Mei. We found this super cute little jacket at Target and her snazzy little shoes that she loves! She also loves to wear this hat--from Target of course!



Matti's mom also sent Karleigh Mei some "lip smackers". She loves to put this on. So sweet.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Thank you for the continued prayers for us and for our darling girl. She is doing so wonderful! Last night she slept in her own bed, in her own bedroom...all night long with no fussing! Praying tonight is a repeat!

So glad she is settling in! God is so good! And she looks "all girl"!!!! Lip gloss and stickers! She'd fit in great with our girls! And Target clothes!...a girl after my own heart!

It is so good to see her settling in to her forever home. She is such a doll. I love that her big sisters dressed her up all fancy. So adorable! -Love you guys! Cindy

Wow, sleeping in her own bed all night? Sounds like an answer to prayer!
I too am thankful for Target ~ my kids would run around mostly naked if it weren't for that place.
