Gifts for Havyn

Havyn doesn't know it yet, but she has friends and family who have already given her some very special gifts.  I wanted to show you a few things that she has received.  One thing that is not pictured,

from Grandmom E., is a little bear blanket (toy).  I can't take a picture of it, because I left it with her in Ethiopia so that she has something to snuggle. 

Her brothers love her very much already, and wanted to have something special
to give to her from them.  Josiah picked out the bunny,
and Jachin picked out the kitty.

From Grandma R. - She took me shopping, and helped
us get some clothes for Havyn.  I love girl clothes!

Outfit from our very good friends, the Troyers.  The shirt says
"Picked with Love". 
God definitely picked Havyn, with love, for our family!   

The beautiful, handmade blanket if from our (soon-to-be adoptive mama)
special friend, S. Kimble.

The Baby Be Blessed doll is from a friend that we met in Russia, while
adopting the boys.  She and her husband were adopting
their daughter.  An incredibly thoughtful gift!

The doll (pictured above) is personalized with:
Havyn Marete
"For You created my inmost being:  You knit me together in my mother's womb. 
I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
Psalm 139:13-14

This is from Mommy.  When we land on American soil, Havyn becomes
an American citizen.  I will dress her in this special "I'm an American now"
 outfit and take a picture of her when we land.

  These are pictures of Havyn's room.  While Greg and I were in Ethiopia,
his mom,  brother and sister-in-law took care of the boys. 
Greg's brother and our sister-in-law transformed our
guest bedroom into Havyn's nursery as a surprise for us. 
I cried when I saw the room, because it is
exactly what I had wanted.
 Beautiful!
