Happy Birthday, Michella!

Happy Birthday, Michella! You're TWO today! What did you do today? Did you have a birthday cake?

I can't believe I still don't even know how your name is pronounced! It's been two weeks since we first learned about you. It will be another week till we are finally united. Your Daddy and I prayed for you this morning, and then we prayed for your birth mother. I wonder if she is thinking about you today.

Some friends gave me a baby shower last weekend. You should see how many cute dresses you have in your closet! You have a lot of books, too. Tomorrow I will buy a book case so you can have all your books in one place. Either Daddy or I will read to you every night. I wonder what your favorite book will be.

We have so much to learn about you, Michella. In time, you will get to know us as well. We know it might take you some time to learn to trust us, and that's okay. We will be around for as long as it takes.
