Oh My goodness we're so glad to be home together as a family. It is so crazy as soon as we got to the house both the boys seemed to be at ease. Maybe it's because Matt and I were relieved to be home and they felt that, but there was more of a peace settle over them. They have done FANTASTIC since being home. I'll tell you more about that in another post but now I wanted to share about our little 3 year old princess.
Abygail turned 3 while we were in China. I refused to acknowledge it or let anyone celebrate her birthday till we got home. Good thing Adelynn doesn't know how to read a calendar yet. Mimi and Pop took the girls to the aquarium while we were gone for "all their birthdays". So the day after we got back we had a party for her. Thankfully Matt's mom brought some party decorations and some boxed cake mix for me. I am a bit embarrassed by my cake, not up to my standards but hey at least I made one huh? In the two weeks we were gone both my girls decided they were ready to be princesses. Good thing I was starting to get this feeling because she got 3 princess dressing up outfits, play slippers, "make up", & hair dressing kit. We decorated her cake with bright pink and purple icing and had pink and purple balloons. Didn't want to have too many people over so we just had Finn, Giselle, and Katherine over. It was good to see her too!
They kids had a great time together and the boys played wonderfully with everyone. It was so great to see how they will fit right into our family. Finn and Giselle were excited to meet the boys and did a good job of including them on their play.
Abygail really enjoyed the attention and I enjoyed getting to see her so dramatically open her presents. Her line was "this is the best present ever" or "I've always wanted this". Such a great person to buy gifts for.
My little firecracker's world is being rocked. She is doing good but really adjusting to not being the baby is difficult. Most of the time she is really happy to have the boys around, but she is needing extra attention from mommy and daddy. I don't think she realized how much she missed us till we got home, as she did't want Pop or Mimi to do anything for her at all. She has needed extra cuddles and love from us, which is fine and I'm grateful that Isaiah and Elijah are letting us do this without feeling too threatened. She is full of life and joy. God is going to use her for some amazing things in her life. Her headstrong and independent personality will keep her from needing to follow the crowd and allow her to follow strong after Him. She is loving and kind and sensitive, all qualities that are wonderful and make her a treasure to us and to her Father. She is a little princess for sure!!
