Faith will have to adjust to a new kid in the house! What a beautiful baby Isabelle is. I know you look at these pics time after time, anxiously awaiting the time you get to hold her in your arms. God is good all the time! He has truly blessed you and we will pray that in 2008 you will have your little girl!
Oh, Lauren, how blessed I feel to have the opportunity to share in your journey in bringing Isabelle home! Thank you for that! Isabelle Grace! What an absolutely beautiful name! And she will be blessed, indeed, to have YOU for her mother! She is beautiful with captivating eyes, and her face seems to reflect God's love and grace! Know you and Isabelle are in our prayers. As you are challenged with the "wait", may you feel God's presence, and peace that only He can provide.
Love to you,
Leonora
