Addy and John

The internet has many great uses, but my favorite by far has been connecting with other adoptive families, particularly special-needs adoptive families. One such family is the Heflin family who adopted little Addy two years ago. I have wanted to meet Addy for so long. Today was my lucky day.

Unfortunately, Addy wasn't as excited to meet me as I was to meet her. She wasn't very fond of all the toys my kids kept shoving in her face or the pinches that Ava kept giving her on her legs. She didn't care for my singing or the way I put a book on my head in an attempt to make her laugh.

She did, however, find one Urban who made her smile. :) Isn't she adorable?

OK, my turn, my turn!
When would you like to meet the Dickinson's? We're just right down the turnpike. Really, we would love to meet you and your family before school starts.

Ahh...his charms work on the younger crowd as well as the more mature crowd. He's a real lady's man!

Such a sweet look on her face.

Seriously...your family is beyond precious! What a treasure you are for the adoption community and for encouraging others to embrace one of God's most beautiful gifts to us.

I was holding my Sadie yesterday and just kept crying thinking about how when God blesses us with adoption, He is wanting to constantly remind us of His love for us in that child. How great is our God!

Sweet.
Did you notice how John and Ava have the same expression on their faces in these back-to-back posts?
