I was looking back at our pictures while we were in Ethiopia wither her, and she has changed a lot. Her little personality has really come out, and it reminds me how much she really has learned to trust and love us so fast. It's hard to believe that a little less than 5 months ago she wasn't even home yet! When I look back at the look on her face when we first held her, I realize how scared and confused she was....then I look at the little girl playing with her brother, (who she loves SO much, and he loves her too) and trying to walk, and talking so much, and dancing, and smiling....it's just amazing to see how much she has grown. God truly blessed us with Olive, and we thank Him for her everyday. One of my favorite things is to hear Ender and Olive laughing, and look over and see her laying on top of him, or him hugging her...they love each other, and fit together so perfectly as brother and sister. I really can't imagine our lives without either of them!
Anyway.....here are some pictures from her "Un" Birthday Party....
