in my car today, as Noa patted water from her bottle onto Glo’s head,
“Now her hair is good and baptized!”
Please keep in mind that when we began praying about adoption we shared a lot of what we were thinking through with the girls and we praying about it as a family. We prayed (and still pray) often for the children in the world with no mommies and daddies, and we also prayed (and still pray) that the Lord would provide a way – especially the money - for us to bring one or some of them into our family. Also, keep in mind that Noa has been convinced from day one of this process that we would adopt boys.
One night we invited a family over who we didn’t know very well. The daughter, a sweet middle school-aged, engaged our girls and was awesome to play with and entertain them for evening. I literally laughed out loud when she came up to me and said,
“Uuummm, Noa just told me that baby boys are really expensive.”
I bet you’re thinking the same thing after my post earlier today. 
Noa referenced our conversation from earlier several times today. Tonight, as we got ready for bed,
“Mommy, if you let Baby David sleep in my room for every night, I will give you the Princess Journal that Miss Christy gave me”
and few minutes later (even when no promises were made),
“You are the kindest mommy I even saw.”

Just finished some post-nap pillow talk with the big girls. We spoke for about a 1/2 hour about rooming/bed plans for when the boys come home, in which they both said some hilarious and precious things. One of my favorites:
Noa: “Mommy, I just want Baby David to sleep in my room with me so that when he wakes up and cries I can comfort him.”
But that’s why I wanted him in MY room. Love her mamma’s heart...
Noa: “Mommy, we’re Asian, right?”
Is it bad that I answered, “kinda”?
Eric, at the dinner table: ” No. You may not have more salad until you finish your pizza.”
Really, Honey? Are we sure we want to put our foot down on this?
