Sweet Child

The title of this blog comes from a portion of a song.

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry

I did name this blog before we started anything with this adoption. At the time all I knew was that Trent and I wanted to add another girl to our family.

The lyrics to the song seems somehow to speak to what I was about to experience. As I saw the girls' photos the first time... the baby (yes she's 4, I call her the baby) has the most amazing smile. In every picture her smile reminds me of the smile only a young child can use to communicate the amazing joy they are experiencing (you'll see what I mean when I can post pictures). And the beauty (the big sister) - you see the whole world when you look into her eyes. The beauty of this child cannot be explained.
