Sweet Eliana Hope....


Tonight is a very rare night....sweet girl actually fell asleep before 10:30. Oh, I love her so much. She has grown and changed so much since I have been here....it amazes me. She is walking everywhere. She loves, loves, loves to give kisses (she gives at least 10 in a row). She kisses the other kiddos. She kisses the mommas. She kisses the couch. It cracks me up. She is so loving. She is beginning to talk up a storm....she says "da da da" all of the time. I assume she is missing Chris as much as me. She loves milk.....she loves McDonald's nuggets.....she loves pretending like she is talking on a cell phone. She even uses her foot as a phone. She has a hilarious new smile.....she squints her eyes and has the cheesiest grin. She knows that she is funny too. She snorts when she laughs (like her Kay-Kay)! She is growing so fast (but is still the tiniest thing)....I am so grateful for every minute I have with her. I can't wait for everyone at home to fall in love with this little girl. She brings such joy to my life. Thank you Lord for Eliana Hope.

Love you all,
Lindsey

She's such a little peanut!!

Cutie patootie!

I don't think I will ever meet her.....& that makes me a bit sad! Tennessee to CO is a bit far. Although I know someone who used to go to your church! Does that count??

Your description of her reminds me so much of my Hudson. He is the "kissiest" child I've ever seen!! :)

Lindsey, I have been researching The Dump and Limonada. They are both heart wrenching sites. How did you meet Tita and the gentleman on the blog? Maybe I could contact them to also offer assistance for their courageous work!
It was great meeting you and Eliana.... Praying these sweet baby girls come home very very soon!!!
