Wishing For Pine Needles

the First Two Weeks

The first two weeks with our new girl we picked out FOUR pumpkins!

We carved them....

and displayed them.

We trick-or-treated!

But most of all, we just stared.  Or I just stared.  At this newest miracle that has me completely under her spell.

And I thank God over and over for yet another blessing.

(Re-introducing this sweet pumpkin as Lena Jane...a re-naming of sorts after spending just a couple of more days with her.  And let me tell you, she is undeniably a Lena!)
