A bright eyed, hesitant little one walked into our lives today forever!
 In the blink of an eye, we became parents again and our children became siblings once more.
 Maryn, your sisters prayed for you just before we left.  One said she was so thankful for adoption and for you joining our "big, big family!" and the other said she couldn't believe you had a heart big enough to love us all!  
 My favorite picture...those eyes have so much expression.
 Then it was the moment of truth, the exchange.  Let's just say that Maryn was less than excited about this taking place.  There were a lot of tears and the arching of the back occurred.  
 She soon tired herself out with all of the tears and fell fast asleep on my chest.  Sweet girl!
 And then she awoke, the make or break it moment of gotcha....and she didn't scream!
We have played in our room most of the afternoon and given her a bath....she is so very scared and continues to shy away from Ryan!  Bless.
