Holidays, waiting, hoping....
We have now been waiting for Lila longer than I was pregnant with Grace. This fact, along with the holidays, has made me very melancholy. I want my little girl home. I worry that she's somewhere alone, longing for a family, waiting, just like we are for her.
Before Christmas, Gracie asked me what I wanted Santa to bring me. I said pajamas, candy, but most of all I wish he could bring me Lila. In her wonderful 3-year-old logic she told me that Santa has a sleigh so he can just go to China & pick her up on the way here. I laughed and said I wished it was that easy but that we have to keep waiting until just the right time. She amazes me every day!
We did have a great Christmas. We celebrated for over a week. We started on the 17th because Gerry's brother & family were here from Florida. Our Great-Niece Miah is only 2 months younger than Grace so they were inseparable. NOISY but inseparable. We spent the 17th (Monday) at Gerry's parents with the whole family then Wednesday, Jim, Sue, Matt, Luke, Rachael, Mark & Miah came over so Grace & Miah could play. The little girls had every toy in Grace's room spread out all over the floor. It was wonderful to get to see them while they were here. Sue & I are thinking a trip to Disney is a MUST with the 2 of them. Hopefully there will be 3 little girls if Lila is home by then. I totally fell in love with little Miss Miah while they were here, she is adorable!
Santa was very good to Miss Grace. She got the baby she has been asking for. She told Santa she wanted the baby with a binky. She also got books, games, clothes, monkeys, ladybugs, legos, etc. Gerry was off all week so we have been playing with all the new toys!
I hope everyone had a great Christmas. We realize we are truly blessed and will keep waiting to be blessed even more with our Lila.
