Six months ago Ivy Elizabeth was placed into our arms.

My sweet darling daughter..

Your favorite food is tomatoes.

You love to play trains with your brothers.

You could watch the Little Mermaid every day if your mother would let you.

You want to wear the same PJ's every night and can't wait for me to wash them.

You still hate to have dirty hands.

You love to help me do everything.

The only food so far you don't care for is olives.

You sleep in your own bed Most :) nights.
We moved across the country and you took it all in stride.
We have been to see many doctors and they all fall in love with you.

You are a spicy firecracker.

You are the most lovable child I have ever met.

You are starting to talk in sentences in English.

You love watching Mandarin kid shows.

Most importantly you have taught me how much love God has for us.  You are such a precious gift from God.  Sometimes I get frustrated with how strong willed you are.  I am thankful that God reminds me to step back and instead soak you in and celebrate this life we share together.  Never could a mother have dreamed of a more intelligent, beautiful and joyful daughter.

Seeing God's world through your eyes has been nothing short of amazing!
