We're Back!

I've been a quiet blogger this week because we were in Guatemala meeting and bringing home our new daughter.


I have a few posts planned that I am looking forward to sharing (artist of the month, catechism and practices for encouraging attachment with a newly adopted baby) but I'm afraid these will have to wait as I try to win my new daughter to my trust.


Today, after wearing black and white for a week, I grabbed a colorful dress. During the day I realized I had put on my dress in which I took the "six week to baby" picture six months ago. I guess I got the six week part wrong!
But here's today's picture with baby in my arms.

Congratulations!!! How old is she and can you share her name?

I love how she is holding the necklace as she is looking up at you.

Congratulations again!
