chapter 16 {she's all covered}

this child has been covered longer than we have known her.

her heavenly Father has never taken His eyes off of her.

ben and i have voiced a time or two the past few days that we have not been able to process all that we have touched and witnessed in the flesh, but we are in awe that this is real.

last june we were denied.

this june we are united.

she's all covered.

as soon as we could, we went to the u.s. embassy. ben entered through security and came back to the car in 15 minutes with this beauty!
