Happy Birthday Baby Kella!!!

It is hard to believe you are ONE today. We have had you home for 2 1/2 months and had you in our hearts for 11 months now. We are filled with JOY with your precious little life. You are starting to develop a sweet personality and you know we are your family. We are so happy you trust us and feel so safe in our arms. You are so loved by your family and friends. You now are getting your top two teeth in and you are getting up and standing alone. You are so proud of yourself!
You are still such a tiny little thing. We love that we get to have a baby in our home longer. Your smile and gentle spirit are both adorable.

On this day, we think so much of your birthmom and the love she has for you. We know she wanted the BEST for you and wanted to give you a family. We are more than humbled that God chose our family for YOU! We pray she feels God's peace and comfort that you are well-loved and taken care of. She chose life for you and we are forever grateful for this Gift of you. 

A year ago today we knew we were to adopt again but we did not know about you yet. We are thankful we trusted in His mighty plan to bring us your life in His perfect timing. God is so good and BIG! Our prayer for you is that you will grow up to know Jesus as your personal Savior and live your life for His Glory! 

We LOVE you baby Girl!

Lisa,
I was wondering when baby Alayna and Irene fly in tomorrow... I would LOVE to be there to welcome Alayna home but wasn't sure when or whether or not they wanted people there?!?
