Lucy is transitioning so well that sometimes I have remind myself that she has only been here two months. I have to remind myself that in such a short time, the bonds of love, and attachment, and family are still, in some ways, tenuous. Lucy is such a happy little girl. She laughs easily and gives love and affection without reserve. She has added such an element of joy to our family.
Amelia is also transitioning well. She usually relishes the role of big sister and is such a help to me in so many ways. She is growing in wisdom and stature daily. I have seen so much personal growth in the areas of compassion, empathy, and patience in Amelia since Lucy joined our family. Amelia definitely misses being the only child from time to time, and she says she needs a vacation, but still, she has really risen to the occasion. Amelia has recently begun violin lessons, and she seems to be enjoying it.
Blessed is a word I seem to use often, and yet I can't think of a word that better describes how I feel about my children, and really, about my life.
I remember so well how at about this time frame after bringing Jami home, how very happy, blessed, and content I felt. God had surely granted mevtge absolute desires of my heart. I'm hoping that the same us true for you, my friend. They both look to be doing extraordinarily well. Now to just get that sister of yours home!!
