Dear Anna Grace,
Today is 16 months since our paperwork was logged in China. We are closer than we have ever been. I am not sure when we will receive your picture but I know it will be sometime in the next six weeks. I think about you all of the time and I cannot wait until I have your sweet picture. You see, then I will know that within 8 weeks, I will be in China with you. I can't wait to touch your sweet little skin and kiss your little face. I dream about you often. I pray that your are safe and that you can feel all of the love that your family feels for you. So many people are waiting to welcome you home. You would never believe the number of people that are praying for you and waiting to see you. Your brothers and sister are so excited. Hayne is even willing to share his spot in our bed with you! That is a sacrifice for him! We are all so ready to hop on a plane and bring you home. Everything is ready for you. You will never be able to wear all of the sweet outfits that we have for you. I am sure we will all be fighting over who gets to hold you and feed you. I can't explain how much I already love you and how I long to hold you and take care of you. You are our precious gift from God. The child that he has chosen to complete our family. We love you so much!
Hold on baby girl, mommy, daddy, ashton, adam, hayne and mema will be there as soon as we can.
I love you,
mommy
