Life's blessings...

Well, we've now been home with Alli for 9 months.  Some days it feels like just yesterday that frail, precious, scared little girl was being placed in my arms, and other days it feels like she's always been with us.  It still amazes me at how God knew just where she belonged, and put us together, from all the way around the world.  This little girl is 100% and Ashworth! ;) 
Alli is so sweet and such a happy girl!  She has her siblings "bubu" (BaiLee, our oldest son), "Guh-Guh" (Ethan, our middle) and "LaLa" (Graci), all wrapped around her little fingers!  She seems to do that to most people who meet her!  She loves watching her brothers play baseball...and all the boys on their teams love her.  She's got the "fist pump" or "Knuckles" down and is a true ball park baby! ;) 
This little girl has captured our hearts and is a pure joy!  We had surgery to repair her cleft palate in March and after a week stay in the hospital, she has recovered so well!  Her speech is improving little by little and she's enjoying speech therapy. 
  BaiLee, Ethan and Graci are GREAT big brothers/sister to Alli!  They love her so much and doing a great job spoiling her! lol
She's a little miracle, and we are so greatful that God, yet again, saw us fit to raise such a perfect little person. We love her so much!

 Here are some pictures of Alli's first trip to the beach...which thank God, she loved! ;)  And, one of her and her Daddy on 4th of July
I'll try to get better about blogging more often...my hands are so full, but as I always say...Full of GREAT things! ;)
