Our Happy Girl!

I love this picture of Gabriella as it reflects the happy little girl that she has truly become in such a short time with her forever family! I could tell you about how animated she is when she is trying to get her point across or how she squeals with excitement when Daniel walks in the house and she yells "Naniel, Naniel, Naniel" and runs to greet him and he picks her up and gives her hugs and she is grinning form ear to ear. We could tell you how precious it is when she folds her little hands together to say her prayers each evening and how sweet she sounds when she asks God to bless each of her family members, friends and yes the cats and dog as well. At dinner she reaches her little hands out and is trying so hard to learn our family prayer and just smiles and exclaims "Aaaaaaaamen" when we get to the end. Gabriella LOVES to get dressed up and then look at herself in the full length mirror; she smiles from ear to ear and then just starts to giggle! She is totally girly girl and has her routine before leaving which includes having her hair done (Daddy is even learning how to do this:), putting lotion on her arms and legs and when she is getting ready with mommy she needs to have some of mommy's perfume sprayed on her as well; she is just precious as she will pat her little chest and rub the perfume in. I could continue on and tell you how perfectly she fits into our family and how each day we are blessed beyond measure as we get to experience the miracle of adoption each and everyday through this beautiful little girl that God created for our family!
