Today the three of us spend our last full day with Amy...it's already been full of laughs and tears. I know tomorrow will be so bittersweet - the beginning of our life with Lucy but the end of our regular communications with Amy and her family (who we've grown to love). Please pray for all of us as we say our goodbyes at noon tomorrow. Pray especially for Amy that she would not feel her heart being ripped away but instead that she would feel joy and peace about the decision that she has made. I know God will protect her. She is so excited to receive all the pictures and notes we will send her and I think that brings her great comfort.
Next week we'll spend down in FL and then we can't wait to bring Lucy home to meet everyone! Once again - I apologize that we have not been very accessible these past couple of days. Adoption is indeed a unique situation that requires 110% of our energy and it is so important that we be sensitive and respectful of Amy during this time. We have spent most of the time here with her and wanted to give her our undivided attention rather than being on the phone all the time. We promise to catch up with everyone when we get back and LOVE all the precious messages and prayers you have sent our way - keep 'em coming!

Granny said Lucy is too pretty to be a newborn! I have to agree with her. We're putting a flower on the altar tomorrow at Belair in Lucy's honor. No standard pink for our little girl, but a delicate begonia in shades of coral, yellow and pale green. Love to the new family.

Elizabeth, Joey and Lucy...together at last! I know you guys are enjoying these first few days with your precious baby! I LOVE the pictures, you guys are naturals. My parents have been reading your blog and are so excited for you. They'd LOVE for you to stop by for a visit so that they can meet Lucy when you are in Jacksonville if it works out....they also said they'd love to have you stay with them if you still need a place to stay while you're in Jacksonville. I can not wait to meet Lucy and Addison can't wait to play with her.
Love you three,
Heather
