Little changes
We often go to the same small Mexican place to eat. We have been going there for years. A couple of nights ago the sweet waitress remarked how Cali has changed so much in the past year or so. I asked her, how so? She said, "oh I remember how she would cry so much during dinner and you just had to hold her. Now look at her, so happy and eating, eating,eating." I guess it is those little changes that happen each day that sometimes we need to be reminded. She has changed so much, almost into a new creation. Oh I know she is still the Cali that God created so beautifully as she was knitted in her mother's womb. But as she grows into the beautiful girl that God planned for her I find it an honor to be a part of God's plan and little changes!

Love knowing how settled Cali is in her home and family. When we travelled to get Kate, we found a tiny, little girl clinging to a dirty baby doll for dear life. For weeks and weeks she held tight to that toy which brought her so much comfort. Now she goes weeks without knowing where that doll even is. God is faithful to these children.
"Behold, the old is gone; all things have become new."
I love you sweet Cali
You know Jody, I still remember our first conversation about Cali. I remember that it was after that first petitioning period and it was as if God had held Miss Cali just for you! I remember asking you to look at her file and you pulling up her photo and telling me how sweet she was and that you wanted to review her information and talk to Greg and would get back to me. I knew before you even called me back what your answer would be and that Cali would be your daughter. Some things are just total "God things". I fully believe that God orchestrated it all from before she was even born. What a miracle!
