Good Morning Sleepy Head...

We are so blessed to have gotten another updated picture of Anna. We actually have two online-family friends that are in China right now with their daughters who are from Anna's orphanage. One couple went to the orphanage today and was able to get a picture of Anna for us. The other couple is scheduled for a visit tomorrow, so maybe another picture in the morning!!

They said that she was just waking up and was standing in her crib holding onto the rail dancing and jumping around - Parker will have a break dancing partner! They commented on her sweet smile...yes, I am beaming! They said that they were so impressed with the orphanage and the nannies caring for all the children.

I have been an emotional mess today. Seeing the pictures, reading about how she acted after waking up all energetic and happy, and then reading their blog and their experience at the orphanage. The adoptive mother said that their daughter was wonderful during the visit. Never offered to leave her side and seemed very comfortable to be there, not scared - huge blessing. Hopefully she, Anna and all the babies do not have bad memories of the orphanage, but felt/feel safe and cared for there. She also said that she was quite overcome with emotion as she stood in the midst of all the babies.

She told us that she patted Anna on the head and told her that "mommy is coming." Oh, my chest is just heavy...I want to get my baby girl.

Thank you Kenna and Jeff for the wonderful pictures!

Praying for my patience in waiting on God's perfect timing and sending love to my Anna.
