Yeah! For Good News!

We have had GOOD news with Emma's health the past couple weeks! Two of the things that made her a "special needs" baby were a hole in her heart (ASD), and ROP (retinopathy of prematurity -- yes, I butchered it). In the last week and a half, we have found out that the hole in her heart has finally closed and that her left eye (the one they were more concerned about) is fine as well! God has healed our sweet angel of 2 needs that could have had lasting affects for her. YEAH!!! There are a few other things to keep an eye on but nothing serious. We are so excited to have this good news! Thank you for your continued prayers for Emma and our family!

Natalie and Tenasia are officially...

Baugher's! I am so excited for them that the journey to making them their's is over!!! Praise God! Now we can all just focus on the fun of the kids' instead of having court always looming in the back of the mind. All praise to God for making it an easy enjoyable day, with right's signed over, instead of long and stressful.

11 months old!

I can't believe that our sweet angel is 11 months old already! Boy, time sure does fly...oh, I guess it has been only 2 weeks home ;-) Really, I am SO not ready to be celebrating her 1st birthday in less than a month. October 6 she will be 1 year old!!! We are still having a few grieving issues, but it is much better. I think she is starting to get used to this place, and these strange looking people. She adores her brothers and sister. Mommy and Daddy can't get her to laugh, but the boys especially have her laughing in a heartbeat! I put a new picture on the side, but it didn't post very well. For some reason it stretched out or something. Thanks for keeping up with our crew, and for all of your prayers!!!

Emma at home!

Home Again!

Ok, for a week and a half now, but we are home! Emma is an absolute JOY, and her brothers and sister are in loooove with her ;-) We have had some issues with jet lag, thankfully getting much better every day. We also had some definite grieving on her part--poor thing, I would too!! She decided to save that for the middle of the night as well. I think she has done very well for the amount of change this sweet little thing has been through, especially at almost 11 months old. I will post details about our amazing trip later, but wanted to let you know we are slowly coming out of our lack of sleep selves, and SO enjoying our family of 7!!!!! Thank you all so much for your prayers. They were definitely felt--especially on the flight home ;-)
