Tonight I got an email from Vicki. She was concerned I’d been either too busy or just didn’t have anything to blog about. She was partly right. About the busy part. See, right now, as I sit here typing I am holding on my lap the most beautiful baby girl.
Blog world, meet Olivia Anne Rolling!
Chris and I got the call last Wednesday. We met her the next day. There were some things that came up, which I’ll blog about at a later date, and we picked her up this morning. She is lovely and amazing and the best baby.
I’ll write more tomorrow when time allows. Now, we’re heading off to bed to get some sleep :)

Isn’t it awesome how God works! Chris’ parents will get to meet their newest granddaughter on their trip!! I will be continuing to pray for the adoption process and that it goes smoothly and quickly! and that your adjustment to being a family of three is also smooth! I can’t wait to see her in person – which by the way Les, if you need anything that I can bring down in July – let me know, my suitcases shouldn’t be too full. Have a wonderful first night with your gorgeous gift from God!blessings to all <>3<> Rollings!

Congratulations! She is beautiful
Oh, she is lovely. I’m so happy for the two of you. (I can’t imagine the transition you must be living in. That’s some FAST turnaround time!) Anyway, bless you in the days and weeks and years ahead. Hey, did you decide to nurse her? How is that going? (I used to be a nurse, so I actually think about these things.)
Congratulations – I add my request for God’s blessing:That she may grow strong and healthy, that she be filled with compassion and able to communicate humbly and with confidence, and know that the Lord and Creator of all the peoples Loves her and is always, always, with her.
Congratulations! That’s so exciting! She’s an absolute doll.Kristin

I am ecstatic for you all! I pray God will hold you all close and make clear your path. His healing hands around you and His light shining on you. Olivia will walk in His light and grow in His garden.So now I am crying in joy! Blessings and loveBarb J :)
I seen to remember a recent post about patience, and OUR lack of it. how God works in HIS time and not ours, and we usually don’t like it. You said, I believe, you were giving it up to Him to take care of, and you didn’t think it would happen soon. What great surprises God has for us when we surrender. Congratulations to you both, God’s blessings on everyone.
Yeah! Congratulations Chris and Leslie on your beautiful little girl, Olivia. I’m sure the days ahead are filled with precious memories. :) -Kris
