There's that Violet Culp smile!!! She's just precious and thankfully she looks good in "violet". What a great family!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think Violet is glued at the hip already to Juliet. So happy for all of you.
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you! She looks as happy to have you as you are her.
ReplyDeleteLoretta
Congratulations. I hope the transition is going well for her. Violet is a cutie! Blessings, Kelly (child also at TCH)
ReplyDeleteWe loved our little visit last night. Clara took 106 pictures and made them into a mini video. It is awesome, she put music to it and then made it into my screen saver! I love it! Violet waving good by to us is the best. Can't wait to meet her in person! Much, Much Love,
ReplyDeleteYah who!!!!!!Yippee!!!!!!What a tearful experience that was watching
ReplyDeletethat video!!!!!!!! What a commitment! I supposed it's the same for
people DECIDING to have a child as opposed to people like me who just
kept getting pregnant. Wow! you all just stuck a pin in the globe and
said "We will take THIS child to love and cherish from this day
foreword till death do us part, Amen!"
What a wonderful world we live in and what wonderful folks you all
are. Congratulations! to you ALL! Love xoharriet
Don't forget to take a picture of the "mill teeter-tauter" when you're at the orphanage!
ReplyDeleteLots of Love!
She's so beautiful and lively! I can't WAIT to meet her finally! Luke and I are gonna be over that in a single second anytime you need ANYTHING. ^_^
ReplyDeletelots of love waiting for you back in the good 'ol USA!
I'm so happy for you. You are all very lucky to have found each other. Safe travels home. Looking forward to seeing Violet.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful family! I think I've been holding my breath for a week waiting for you to meet your little girl. I can't wait to meet her myself.
I hope the transition is going well and that you are all enjoying the blessings of being 'three' now.
Sending love your way!
Beth Ann
