Becca's First Video Clip

For those of you far away, who would like to be closer ...                                                     we hope that you enjoy this first "live" glimpse of Becca!

The Adventure Continues!

On Sunday, March 22nd, at 8:34, God blessed our family with another daughter, as Rebecca Joy was born, weighing 7 lbs. 9 ozs., and measuring 20 inches long.  

The last week and a half has been a blur as we have rushed to get prepared for this adoption.  We heard from the prospective birthmother on a Wednesday, and learned that her due date was the following Tuesday!  So, there was much to do in a short amount of time (home study, medical exams, fingerprinting, arranging for travel, etc.) - a blur ... but a wonderfully exciting one!

We are so fortunate to be in Illinois, staying with family (both Katherine's brother and sister and their families live in/near Chicago).  Abbie and Josie are loving having some extended time with cousins!  And they have been so sweet to their newest sibling.

We were able to take Becca from the hospital the day before yesterday, and now we are just waiting for a court date, and clearance to travel before we head back to CA.  We are hopeful that we will be home by next Wednesday.

We hope that you enjoy the pictures and videos - although, if you can believe it, she is more adorable in person!
