Eating my words

I don't like to eat my own words, but I have to today. Remember that sweet little post when I might have said a few LITTLE words about the youngest child being a LITTLE left out? Hmmm....remember that one? Well, I will tell you that S's anniversary has come and gone and I did NOT post about it. I know, I know....I am eating my words. But, enough of that and on to the real reason of the post...Happy anniversary S!!!
Three years ago, S came to live in our home forever!

Wow...this little girl has grown up so much! S is a blessing in our lives. We fought hard to get her into our home...not because we did not like the foster home she was in because the foster mother is a great mom. It wasn't that at all. It was just that all of a sudden, it was very very VERY clear to us that these four girls needed to be together forever, and that our home was the place to do that. We had been very sure that we would do only foster care, but through realizing that S needed to be with her sisters, the Lord made it very clear that we needed to adopt them.

S is a funny girl. She has a noticeable smile that really does light a room. She smiles when she is happy, and if she thinks it will help her case, she smiles when she is in trouble too! Even when you talk to her on the phone, you can hear her smiling. S is very mischievous, and very smiley when she is stirring up trouble! She loves the color yellow, elephants, polar bears, yellow gum, and Skippy (Becky's husband and our good friend). S is a nurturer and a leader. She is a mother hen for sure. We love her dearly and we are so thankful that she is in our lives!
