What a wonderful first Mother's Day! Ryan fixed Nara and I a big breakfast and then we spent the rest of the day with both of our families. The best part of the day was watching Nara and her cousin Braxten play together. He brought out a whole new side of her that we had never seen before. Up until this point she wouldn't smile or talk much and we hadn't heard her laugh at all. I love how God works out even the smallest of details for His children. He knew that one day little Nara would join our family and that she would need a friend. Braxten was SO good to her. It just so happened that Barrett, Ashlyn and Braxten were in town for their baby shower last week. Absolutely perfect timing for Nara as I can already tell she is missing being around children. She and Brax were like two peas in a pod. She is in love with him! After spending a few days together, Braxten wanted to learn how to say I love you in Amharic. One night while the two of them were jumping on the trampoline Braxten told her he loved her. She giggled and said she loved him too. SO sweet! Made this momma's heart so full!
She loves the water! Can't wait to take her to the beach...
More giggles...
Best friends for life!
So precious, Courtney! I love her sweet smile! Continuing to pray for you guys!
