Pictures from the past !

Here are some pictures from our visit trip with Lexie , Oct, 2006 , yes ! 2 1/2 years ago .

Saying goodbye to her, knowing she was going back to live in the orphanage and not knowing how long or IF we would ever see her again was the hardest thing we ever had to do , it was awful !!!!!

She was so happy with us , right before they came to take her back , she woke up from a nap, clinbed up on her Papa's lap( that's what she called him ) put her arms around him gave him a big kiss and said " I Love you Papa !"

It will be so wonderful to hold her in our arms again and tell her she never has to go back there .

We have had friends who have visited her for us and taken gifts and she would ALWAYS when is Mama and Papa coming to get me .

The last time was Feb 2009 our friend Suzanne visited and when she told her the gift was from Mama and Papa Zeiler , she said her little face lite up and she had tears in her eyes .

Suzanne told her not to lose hope , imagine a 7 year old child waiting half her lifetime to be with her forever family .
