Lucia & I



Steve posted this picture yesterday while I dove into my soft, feathered bed. The trip was miserably long but Lucia was an absolute sweet cake! I'm a puddle of goo over our happy, adorable baby! I have so much to tell about her, the trip, the orphanage, Ethiopia, the great new friends I made! Somehow it all seems overwhelming to put into words right now. I am so thankful....My cup runneth over and over! Thank you for praying us through this week. I will always look upon my time in Ethiopia with unreserved joy and tenderness. It was priceless to walk off the plane, to see the looks on my family's eager faces, to experience the squeals of love and laughter, the reveling in our newest babers. I can't wait for you all to meet her!

The girls and I crowded around the computer to see the long-awaited and prayed-for Glover girl! A million questions ensued, and they all agree that she looks like a Lu-Lu and NOT a Jo-Jo. She is beautiful, and so is her mama. Miss you so much I had a dream about you and Steve last night, which is a little weird! How do the cloth diapers fit?? Need more?

OH!!! What a precious photo of your new bundle! I've been thinking and praying for you and your trip to Ethiopia. I am so glad your arms are full with a little one. What a true blessing from God. She is simply beautiful and I can't wait to meet her in person. Makes me want to hop on a plane right now!!!

Beautiful picture! I tried to comment before, but had a glitch. Now that I get a chance to leave a comment, I have had the privilege of actually seeing Lucia in person!!! She is even more beautiful in person and so delightful. I am so excited for you Amy! She is just precious. I could see Amanda and Emma just glowing as they looked at her after church! How sweet. Congratulations!!!

Hi Amy, Steve, & family. I was thinking of you all and thought I'd check your blog. Congratulations on your beautiful baby, Lucia. She is absolutely adorable. I hope we can meet her and see you all one day soon. I am so happy for you all. Please give all the girls a hug from the Louchheim's.

What a beautiful blog you have, I love the pictures!! My friend Jeremy gave me the link to your blog because we are adopting 3 siblings from Ethiopia. He thought I might be interested in yours.

Your new daughter is beautiful along with all of your girls. Thanks for sharing your beautiful family with us.

Blessings
