Last week we were at a pig roast down in the keys with some family from out of town. During the event, they were giving away prizes and Ethan won one and got to go pick something out. When he got back, we opened it up and it was (or we thought it was at first) an Asian style dress for a baby doll. Right away we said...we should give this to your cousin Libby because she is from Cambodia and she would love this for her dolls. Right away Ethan put his head down and started to get upset. We asked him what was wrong and he said "Mommy, this is my prize and I wanted to give it to my new big sister". Wow....this is from my 4 year old, isn't he so sweet. I just wanted to sit there and cry happy tears. I was so proud of him. Now everyone we talk to, Ethan will go up to me and say "Mommy, did you tell them that I am getting a big sister?"
Another great story that I forgot to post in the beginning is that for Valentines Day, my wonderful husband surprised me with a beautiful batch of sunflowers because he knows that sunflowers are my favorite and I prefer them over any other type of flowers! So on the day that the Hill family (the family guiding us through this process) came over, we had sunflowers on our table. Right away, Becca tells me that sunflowers is the national flower for Ukraine and there are fields of them all over the country. Isn't that breath taking? I got chills all over my body. I had never known this. Any one who knows me knows that I have always LOVED sunflowers and even used them for decorations all over my college dorm!! It just shows another sign from God that this is His plan for us. I can't wait to go and see the fields of sunflowers. I just might make our first family pictures with our daughter in a field of sunflowers!!
