to our precious sarahjoy
dear sweet one,
we are coming.
God is calling us to you,
and we are coming.
you will be ours, and we will be yours.
you will have a mommy and a daddy,
and four crazy brothers and sisters.
you will know love.
you will know laughter.
you will know happiness.
and someday,
you will know of God's faithfulness.
because He will prove
Himself faithful
when we hold you for that very
first time.
we will look to the heavens and
shout His name.
we are coming.
until we see you, grow strong.
i love you. already.

to my precious lydia
dearest lydia,
this is from my heart to yours. you are out
there
somewhere and when we find you, i want you to know how much you
were
loved, how
much you were prayed for, and how much we desperately
wished to
meet you. you
will be our daughter, but until then, let me
not
forget the
thoughts and
emotions that came with the waiting.
and
may you
always know how
we loved you,
even before we could
see your
sweet
face.
i love you.

Andy & I read your blogs daily... He said to me last night, "We need to do dinner with the Sanzones when they get home. They have wayyyy too many good stories to tell!" :) We are enjoying your humor despite the hardships! What a journey this is for you! What a joy! I can't wait to see the pearls you bought and to see your most precious pearl, LYDIA SANZONE!!! What an amazing gift!
Carrie, Andy & Dillon Price
You just crack me up, such a great writer! I want to write like you when I grow up..I could just hear the screaming and feel my blood pressure rise! 2 IS 2 no matter who you are!! Awww..you guys are awesome and Little Short Round Lydia will figure things out soon enough!! Sooo cannot wait to see you all again and I'm glad you got to do some important shopping with items you can actually finance your adoption as well as maybe a couple of college educations-ha! But I love how you bought things for Lydia in the future: so very cool!
Some things are the same in any language. Sometimes we call that the "Fussy Mussy Language". So, clearly, you, Eric and Lydia are all fluent in fussy mussy. Sometimes it helps if everyone has a fussy mussy fit at the same time! At least you're bonding!!! Every day, Rachel wants to check for new pictures of Lydia. Her first comment with these pictures was "She's being a fussy mussy." She says, "God picked her for their family. Look at her, she smiles like their family." (Impressive that a 4 year old sees the miracle you are bringing home.) We are holding you up in prayer as your family prepares for a Homecoming unlike any other. Here's to lots more fussy mussy fits to come. With all our love and prayers--Alice, Rachel and Jon Stephenson
