Waiting For Ava

“But these things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, be patient! For it will surely take place. It will not be late by a single day.” Habakkuk 2:3

First Morning At Home


Ava slept with us last night. She slept from 12:30 until just after 6 this morning. She is a little trooper. The plane ride yesterday was really hard on her. When she sleeps she tosses and turns. So we would lay her down across our laps and she would sleep for about a half an hour then she would try and turn and wake right up. We had to pace quite a bit with her on the plane. She would fall asleep in our arms walking then we sat down she would wake up shortly after. She wasn't to fawn of the car seat at first. She cried for about twenty minutes or so on the way home but she eventually fell asleep in it. Not bad for being the first time ever in a car or a car seat. When we arrived home last night she was scared. She would look at our dog Yeti and start to cry. We fed her a bottle last night and she went right to sleep. I kept waking up through the night just to make sure that she was still there. I know crazy but I couldn't help it. When she did wake up she awoke with a big smile and sat up and started clapping her hands. Yeti came to the side of the bed and Ava just sat and watched him. No tears. No crying. She really is amazing.

    Ahhhhhh... I'm sure a beast like Yeti would be a shock!! Luckily he's such a sweetheart- they will be best buds in no time, I'm sure! And may I say how FANTASTIC it is to finally see a picture of Ava's room with Ava IN IT!!! :D
