Sunday morning (I look like I just woke up, sorry!) It's beginning to not seem so strange to find a high chair sitting in our kitchen these days. Or Tupperwares of puree`d food in the fridge. Or baby toys strewn about our office. Or little socks in with the laundry in the dryer. Yes, it's nice to be home and feel settled in!
Nevertheless, we get the joy of continuing several fun "firsts" like yesterday's first visit to church! What a joy it was to be worshipping in our home church again and to be welcomed back so enthusiastically by friends. In addition to a mention in the bulletin, Ellie got a special gift from Mrs. Hillis (on behalf of the church) and a rose on the piano in the sanctuary in her honor! Though she was really unaware of all of those things, she did great in the nursery. She had some super helpers in her room who were really interested helping her have a good first experience in the nursery. It was so good in fact, I don't think she wanted to leave! We pray it's that way every Sunday!
This week is going to hold some other firsts, like her first visit to the pediatrician (Wednesday), her first post-placement visit with our social worker (Thursday), and her first Ohio State football game (tonight) -- which is going to be a big one!
Thanks for your continued interest in Ellie, in us, and in our adjustment, growing together as a family. Last we checked, this blog has been read by over 260 different IP addresses in over 100 cities and 9 countries (Ukraine, Hungary, Taiwan, Canada, Paraguay, Phillipines, Albania, Honduras, and Kenya). We are blessed by your friendship and prayers!
