It's a Girl !!!

Finally, having been looking forward to this occasion for such a long time, there she was! A tired, but cute, sweet young lady enriched our family on Friday evening, May 5th 2006. Her name is Kristi!:-)

It was so good to meet her in person and to be able to give her a big hug. And God blessed us so much to grant that to us. Not only that, but He blessed us with great weather as well, against all weather-forecast-odds. Kc had promised Kristi to have a barbecue upon her arrival, but the forecast was not promising: thunderstorms all through the afternoon and evening and for the next day as well! But... we had the best weather one could wish for. So we all were served with a truly delicious mesquite grilled steak (thank you, Kc! You should do that more often, hehe) and caught up, sitting outside, for a long time. Thank You, Lord!

We had promised to call Pia, our other e-daughter, and we all got to talk to her and pray together. Family in Christ is a such delight:-)

The next day we headed out to Bellingrath Gardens and spent several hours wandering around and admiring the variety of flowers and landscapings, which beauty was enhanced by Kristi's and Amber's. Amber had taken time off to join us and spend time with Kristi as well, and both girls seem to hit it off right away. We were thankful for Amber being able to be there with us and share in the joy. Another one of God's blessings:-)
We had lunch at the Gardens and went back home so Kristi could continue her journey to her brother on time.

We took some great pictures of this wonderful event which you can view at Kc's site!

The time we spent together was way too short!!! But may God grant us to have many more. And maybe with some of y'all as well. Only He knows:-)

Ointment and perfume delight the heart, And the sweetness of a man’s friend gives delight by hearty counsel.
