1st day of church

I was so excited to take Marlee to church today.  So many people have prayed for and with us for the past 6 years, it was great to let people see the answer to these prayers.  She did great!  Considering she's only been with us for 13 days, it's miraculous how well she's adjusting.  I'm certainly not saying it's been perfect...we've had lots of bumps in the road, hours & hours of crying and nights of very restless sleep, but overall, we've had a great transition!  She let me carry her around at church and even fell asleep in my arms during the sermon.  This is HUGE considering yesterday was the first day she even laid her head on me.  The best part was that Doug was sitting right beside us and she fell asleep on me.  I'm thinking she'll do ok once he returns to work.  This time last week I was thinking he was going to need a 6 week maternity leave just to keep us all sane.  It's amazing how God has prepared and healed her heart over the past 2 weeks.  I know we will continue to transition for weeks and weeks, but I'm so thankful for the ease of the journey so far.
