Pictures Say A Thousand Words

Just a short note to let you know we have the fairy princess. I am not exaggerating when I say she is the most beautiful child in the world. She has the largest eyes and longest eyelashes you can imagine. Her skin is fairer than mine(and that is fair). She is tiny and I doubt weighs the 19 lbs they say. I say more like 15. I am thinking the 9 months sizes I brought will fit her. She has alternated between wide eyed fear and wimpering and it just breaks my heart to see her grieve and be afraid. We have had her about 3 hrs, and she has slept much of this. She did let me hold and snuggle her close as she cried. Riley cried and cried today with all the civil affairs activities. There was a 4 year old being given to a family with our group who screamed for her foster mom the entire time. He couldnt stand all the babies crying and he felt so sad for them all. That is my soft hearted little baseball jock boy. Just how I like them. June is precious beyond all our wildest dreams and as i held her while she slept, I felt the weight of the world lift. Of course you all know I cant end it without telling you that they brought all the babies in but ours. No one knew where our baby was and they had not arrived from the orphanage. So as we waited, I was group video and picture taker. I did ok but after quite a while of not knowing what the problem was, I got pretty panicky. But she arrived, late as usual for our family, making her grand enterance into the room and into our hearts. Thank you God for your amazing Gift.
I will post more tomorrow. I am pretty drained tonight.
Love,
cindy curtis riley and JUNE!!!!!
