Ready to go for Visit Trip #2 - 5 days left

This is Aaron's favorite picture from out first visit trip when she was 4 weeks old and only 6 lbs.
She looks older because I zoom in with my camera and she is so alert and smiley. I can't wait to see her in 5 days.
I got these ear-rings for our Foster Mother and her 3 daughters. Each time we go we take a special gift to her. Every picture I see of her with Lucia she has on a different pair of ear-rings. Last visit we brought linens and a gifts for each daughter. They are laying on my favorite blanket that Mandolyn made for Lucy before our last trip. I had been looking for a white blanket for photo shoots when we were there. And of course my thoughtful, talented friend Mandolyn whipped one out.

Grammy bought this towel blanket before our last trip. I absolutely love it.


These are the three dresses we are bringing for her next stage to give to her foster mother 3-6 months. The polka-dot one is form the Armstrongs. The second one my mom and I have had for 4 years waiting for a special little girl. The third I got is the most adorable sweater dress!
I think I might have a bathing suit fetish. Maybe it is because I hate wearing bathing suits now, so I just buy the cute ones for Lucia.

This is so sweet. . . I looked over our bed this morning where I have everything laid out for Lucia, and this little bear outfit had been added. Kinkade took it off his Starbucks bear from Grammy and wants me to bring it so Lucy has a Halloween costume.

My famous quote is "I have been dying to put tights on somebody!" The boys would probably let me, but Aaron would not be so happy. Check out these tights Grammy and I found are they not the cutest:) The tights, socks, and bows are my favorite. I swear I am not a foo foo girl! What has happened to me?????????

These are my two favorite hand-me-downs from Anna Miller in 3-6 months. The Millers have been so good to us with all the clothes for Lucy.

My two favorite outfits! Whitney and Jordan gave us the brown Gap sweatsuit, and I got the pink one on sale for the next stage. So soft and hip!


This is what our bedroom looks like. . .. . hmmm. . . . We leave Thursday night. Please pray for safe travel, and another amazing time bonding with Lucia.

OK, I had to show you these red outfits. My favorite color on little girls is red. She is going to be so sweet in these.

THE INFAMOUS BOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See they are not that big they just look huge in the pics b/c she is so tiny. I was hoping to get some surprise visit pictures before we left from our agency. Keep checking back and of course I will post pics while we are in Guatemala. Thanks for praying!

Ok. I'll be the male who responds to the litany of bows, tights, dresses, bikinis, etc. Darcy--embrace your foo-foo-ness!! It's undeniable and if I didn't love you so much I would be embarrassed for you. I'll be praying for you and Margo to have a safe trip. Give Lucy our love.
