I Think She Will Love the Outdoors with Daddy

I will never be able to get away from this, so I'm not even trying! She is just as cute in camo as she is in pink.
I don't mind the camo as long as it has some lace or pink in it! If thats missing then I'll just add her pearls.
Mommy's been under the weather so the pictures have been slim. Now Mommy is fine and Hope is on her 2nd round of teething. I only pray she feels much better for our trip to Ohio.

Adoption Update

Due to God's Amazing Grace, the prayers of our family and friends, our selfless birth mother and a host of others we will finalize Hope Victoria's adoption on March 11th in the State of Ohio. On February 10th when we received the paternity test results it was like getting her all over again and each preparation now is exactly the same.
On this day, by choice, we will leagally accept Hope Victoria as our daughter for life. This day comes almost a year to the day when Jane first made the call to Rick in reference to our unborn child. God continues to blow our minds when we look back and see how He directed our paths each step of the way. Through hurdles He gave peace, when decisions needed to be made He gave direction and over the past three years we know that God Made A Way.
Our "hope" is that we never stop marveling in what we've seen Him do and take every opportunity to share our story as it may touch the life of another.
Psalms 62:5 "Trust, O my Soul in God alone, for our Hope comes from Him".

Last Sunday Night Hope Learned to Feed Herself

She used both hands! According to the pictures she was a bit skeptical at first then you see she decided that she liked'em and wanted more!
