A smile, a giggle and a budding conversationist?

A friend who adopted a little girl about a year ago pulled me to one side at Seminary when we  began to try to adopt Carys. "I'm so happy for you," he said. "Just a few weeks from now, you'll be bending over her crib, looking at her sleeping... and she'll open her eyes, and smile up at you... just because it's you there looking at her." 

Well, it's happened, and what a joy! Now to top it all she's beginning to try to talk back at us! Take a look at this video...

What a cheeky child! :-)

This has been quite a week, and we are both exhausted, but rejoicing in the Lord and his kindness to us... and who couldn't go a little bit giggly when there's a little bundle of joy like this.

Only three more weeks of Seminary to go. And only one more week before Grandma and Granddad arrive from England! Pray for us, especially for Tom for strength to see the semester through to the end. He has so much still to do.

Our love from over here...
