Today I made the trip to Home Depot and bought all the supplies I need to paint Asha's bedroom. We're going to paint it a very pretty, pale yellow. It's brown right now- not a very girly color! It's such a relief to be able to finally do such things- we know who she is, how old she is (give or take a year or so) and most of all, know she'll be coming home SOON! (Don't get too excited- we still don't have a travel date.) I also went to Old Navy today and found the cutest stuff! I bought several outfits but had buyer's remorse and have decided to return it all and wait until the big "gently used" sale coming up in a couple of weeks. Myself and two girls from church are going to this Lutheran Church in our neighborhood for a kids' clothing sale. I also hope to pick up some clothes to donate to the orphanage in Ethiopia while I'm there.
When we got those new pictures yesterday, they just took my breath away. I also began to feel a longing to scoop her up and give her a big hug. That little girl has already been through so much in her young life. I look at her photos and I can't look away!
Alright, well.. I need to put primer on the walls in her room. I'll post some pictures when we get the room together...
Until later!

Well, Asha has a great big crazy loving family just waiting to welcome her -- gently -- into its fold, and I am so excited for you and for her and for all of us! Thank you for the blog and for keeping us posted; we love you so much, and are thrilled with this answer to many prayers.
Love, Celie
