Seeing her face {Reflecting on 6.21.2012}

One year ago today we got "the call" from our agency, the call essentially announcing that we had a daughter on the other side of the globe.  We anxiously awaited the e-mail with photos and more information, I at work and Jason at home.  And, finally, this is what we saw.
Per Nora's Orphanage, photo was taken in March 2012
Beautiful, beautiful daughter.  Look at that silky pure skin, those intense brown eyes, that sweet round face, and as we know now, under all of those layers are the sweetest little toes. 

As I ponder and reflect on seeing her face for the first time, I cannot help but marvel at how God knits families together, marvel at His goodness and how He spoils us, His children.
Sweet child of ours, you are loved and treasured!
