[speaking of mosaics, katie of my pencil box has the most gorgey collection up right now. it's like a beach house in the best way: bright but soft, with a sunwashed feel. i just want to climb on in and stay forever.]
truth be told, i had lofty hopes for 2010, the foremost being that our littlest would be in thisveryhouse as we speak, curled up sleepy and warm in the bottom bunk. instead we watch him grin and stretch taller from the other end of this screen, and it's not nearly enough, but it's something. and we learn to trust God to make good on his word to father the fatherless, and we pace and we yearn and we rest.
this year was full and adorned with joy. and true, it weathered a good dose of heartbreak, but we never stood alone.
my right-now goal is pretty much identical to the one that sat fresh in my palm at the year's opening: to be the girl crazy in love with her God. the road from me to her unwinds long and hazy before me, but he knows the way.
bring it on, 2011. i can hardly wait.

so well put.
I know - only from an Auntie's perspective - how long the waiting can feel. I remember the delays and the watching them grow through the computer screen and waiting and waiting and waiting. We waited two years (though they hadn't even been born when the process began) and I remember even sometimes feeling panicky like we were missing little milestones and first birthdays for both of them. But you're right, God is to be trusted! :) And he will make good on His Word!
Happy New Year, girl! There is a lot to celebrate and a lot to look ahead to!
I always love your photos so much. And I think 2011 will be your year! :)
