introduction--day two

my heart has always longed to be a mother and this past March, dh and I traveled to Taiwan to bring our sweet baby girl home....
what an amazing blessing and answer to so many prayers.

gracen is such a JOY and a DELIGHT to me everyday. such a blessing that i am thankful for every moment.

these bottom two photos are from today. I used a soft coloring technique for the second and b/w conversion for the third.
the first one I just threw in for nostalgia's sake....:)
what a day it was to finally hold my baby girl in my arms!

Oh my gosh! What an amazing journey you have had. That is such a great picture! I really like the color on the 2nd one too-and the catchlights. It's hard to get catchlights in such dark eyes.
