Here is our Hopie girl turning 7 just a couple of weeks ago...
Life has been busy and I am just getting to posting about it now:)
She loved being Queen for the day and picking all of her meals:) Pizza and soda is a favorite in this house, as well as ice cream for breakfast:)
Welcoming Hope into our family came clear out of the blue one Friday morning...
"What are you doing this afternoon?" our agency asked Greg. "Could you make a trip to OKC to pick up a 10 month old baby girl?"
I will never ever forget getting a phone call from Greg to fill me in on the call he had just received.
We didn't expect to have to tuck her in bed every night for 7 months wondering if she would get to stay...
Our hearts were tender...
We had just 14 months before left a hospital with out our newborn son Samuel who was stillborn... and just 4 months before we had to plan the funeral and bury the baby boy we had been planning on adopting...
Our hearts were more than tender...
And there she came... our hope!
She came quietly at first...
She came sillier as time went on...
She came with her own degree of sass, spunk, and naughtiness at times...
But we loved her anyways:)
We had been longing for a little child to hold in our aching arms...
We had been longing to show her our full devoted love...
We had been longing to make her our own!
The agency director, Hope and I signing saying she was now home forever... We were overjoyed!
Hope and Anna on the day of her finalization:) Anna was beaming! She finally had a sister!
Happy Birthday Hope Jubilee Marie Hintz!
We are so thankful for this special girl!! We celebrate her precious life!
