Thank you! Thank you for all the prayers for our journey. We've been home for 10 days and I'm so in love with this little girl!  God is so good to me! I truly don't deserve it but I'm so grateful.
We had a few bumps in the road in China and she doesn't sleep all night yet  (any advice from any adoptive mommies would be appreciated!) but we're all home and settling in to our new family.
I have no idea how I'm going to do school with a toddler in the house who is very, very busy exploring her new environment and is very attached to mommy! As you can see from my signature line I haven't had a little one in a looonnng time.
We did update from China so if you'd like you can still visit our blog and see how it all went. We'll probably be adding to it some more and then SOMEDAY I'm going to start a regular blog.

Thanks again and God bless you all!

Oh, Lisa, I'm so happy for you and your family. She is gorgeous! And it sounds like her transition has been great---aren't these kids amazing?
If I remember correctly, the sleep adjustment takes a week to ten days to straighten out---so you should be getting close. Hang in there.
Enjoy these very special days!
