Gotcha!

I am off to do a lot of paperwork but I wanted to quickly give you some pictures and to let you know WE GOT HER! I do believe she is in shock which I understand. Please continue to pray for her. She


really hasn't made a peep. Thank goodness mom packed her suitcase with Cheerios because she seems to love them! She is napping now and I will give details later but for now here are some pictures. This was an incredible experience!

    Apparently, I am an idiot when it comes to blogs...gosh. Let's try this again. :) I am thrilled beyond belief....I can't wait to tell mom and Katie. We got your thank you card yesterday...almost made me cry, because I can only imagine how happy you must be. We are still praying for you and Lily Jane!!! Love you.

    Now what I've really been trying to say in these past attempts is: Jules, I so appreciate you taking the time to share this incredible journey with us! Lily is absolutely, positively adorable and I can't wait to get my hands on her! (I'll have to work on the "not too noisy" part.) GOD IS SO GOOD, and He's really outdone Himself this time! What a blessing! Love ya!

    Julie-She is so beautiful and you deserve this feeling more than anyone I know. I'm so happy for you all! We're praying for you all! So many blessings! Now, you know how I have these random thoughts. But...do the grandparents have names yet.....Grammy? Mimsy? Nana? Pops? Poppy? Papaw? I'm just dying to know. :) Love you! Angie

    I just showed Sara the pics and she said "Aww, I bet Ms. Powell is happy ;-)" That's an understatement, I know!
