I'm sitting here listening to Her Highnesss singing something about beef jerky, our dog, and her new gold shoes. And, as always, she makes me laugh. She is never silent or still except in sleep and I wouldn't change her at all. But it also makes me miss my other little girl who was constantly singing and dancing while we were with her. Wednesday will be two weeks since we filed the immigration paperwork, so according the estimate we were given at the Embassy, we'll be about halfway to the end. Then you have to factor in Ghana Time (everyone who is familiar with this concept just rolled their eyes or let out a frustrated sigh) and a passport hiccup from the first trip means we have about another week added to the visa process, so we're more realisticially 1/3 of the way there. Suddenly that seems like a long time because Little Sister made me promise that we would bring her home soon. And I said we would, as fast as we could. But how does the waiting feel to a 6 year old, if her Mama is already going nuts after two weeks! I wonder if she believed me when I made that promise? I hope, I pray and I trust that we will see her again soon, and this time we will not have to leave her behind.

What a beautiful picture!
It will probably feel like a long time to her but she knows she is yours and you are hers and she'll be so excited to see you again and to come home. Prayers for all of you as you wait on Ghana time.
