LYDIA.
There are lifers around here. They've been knocked around a handful of times; they come and go in groups. But then there's people who are on their first rodeo and they don't always stick around. More often than not, they don't. So you just have to have faith, if home is where you would rather be. ...yeah, seeing them is awkward for me, too, sometimes.
You'll get to. We're already in the process...we're hoping we'll have her in time for Christmas. She's the cutest little thing, Lydia. [Attached: a photo taken in the adoption agency of a little blond girl sitting on a bean bag chair and holding Lucas carefully in her lap while grinning up at the camera with her front top tooth missing.] We stop by a lot, so she'll already know us and be comfortable with us once all the paperwork goes through and we finish cutting through the red tape so we can finally take her home.
