If you saw me with smudged makeup at church today, this is what kicked it off.....seeing my BABY in a CHAIR for Bible class!! Where has the time gone? I can't believe she is no longer sitting in the table in those little baby chairs. I definitely had a little emotional breakdown this morning over that, followed by sweet comments from friends about Mariah's adoption and how we have a "daughter" (tear), the precious video during service and then final singing of "There's a Stirring" while the whole church surrounded the ministers and elders. Such a sweet and emotional morning. It finally sunk in today that we really do get to keep Mariah forever! I was wondering when the tears would just start flowing...guess I got my answer!
By the way, Mariah's teacher said that she stayed in her chair the whole time...very impressive! I was actually a little nervous that she'd topple over!

I love it when they play videos. That one was indeed a tear jerker.
I know, I was crying and thought I was going to loose control for a minute! Hard to sing "There's a Stirring" when you are trying not to sob loudly!
I was kind of shocked that our "babies" were big enough to be in that class already! I can't imagine what your emotions were like to know you have a daughter, but I can tell you how grateful Mariah will be to have you as parents!
I totally get the chair thing. When they moved AJ up to the next room a couple months ago, I wondered where she was going to sit to eat breakfast and lunch. They told me at the table. I do believe I said, "Umm, like in the chairs? Won't she fall out?" Don't even get me started on just finding out from Jessica that they sleep on cots and not in cribs at naptime.
I can't sin "There's a Stirring". I try but choke up every time so I just close my eyes and soak it in. Beautiful. I got emotional about the chairs too. It's one of those reminders like when they no longer have their own crib in the nursery.
