Sleep, Who Needs It......


As I type this my smiling little angel is sitting in the floor watching, as she has been since about 4:30 this morning. This time thing is slowly coming back to us. I have to admit that even in the wee hours of the morning she is still just soooooooo cute!! Things have certainly changed around the Cobb household. I now do everything with one hand because the other arm and hand is wrapped around Clara Beth. She loves to be held all the time and I am honoring her wishes. I know, I know I may regret it later but right now we just have to let her know she's secure. As a matter of fact, she's is now in my lap as I try to peck this out. Being home with her is wonderful. When we arrived home around 1:30 Monday morning, (thanks to our sweet Anna Kayla)we were greeted by a clean house,complete with fresh flowers in vases! Also, our awesome church family had provided us with goodies to eat and a freshly mowed lawn!!! Who could ask for more!!!! This is a picture of us standing beside the sign that someone from our church made to greet us. It has a picture of Clara Beth making one of her famous faces. For those of you who traveled to China with us that would be pronounced famerous!!


Monday morning, since we were up so early, we got ready and ventured out. First, we visited Dr. Michael's office for Clara Beth to have her first check up.(she's a little congested, please pray that this clears up soon) Then we were off to visit my kindergarten children at school. They were so happy to see her in person. They had been following along with our blog while we were in China. Several of them ask me if she could speak English. They were so sweet looking at her and she was amazed by all of them.

Having had our fill Of Chinese food ,we couldn't wait to get back to eat some delicious Mexican food. Here we are about to take Clara Beth in for her first Mexican fiesta, and guess what, she slept through the whole thing. Yep, as soon as I walked in the door she went out like a light. That was okay with me because then I could really dig into the chips and salsa!!

We've had lots of company to help welcome Clara Beth home. Here she is with Mrs. Paula and Mr. Jim. We kept Mrs. Paula busy notarizing documents for us through this whole adoption process. Because it took so long she had to do some things twice! Thanks Mrs. Paula you were such a big help to us in bringing Clara Beth home.

And here she is...................The one and only Clara Elizabeth De Min Cobb! Just taking it easy in our living room. Who could resist that face, even if it is only 4:30 in the morning and most of the world is sleeping. We're not at this house and we probably won't be for quite a while. That's okay with us we wouldn't trade this for the world!!! We are just praising God for this amazing little girl He has given us. Until next time...................We'll be playing in the floor!

Oh Robin! What a sweetie Clara Beth is. It's fun that you've been able to do some little things with her already. Hope the sleep timing gets a little better each day. Happy to hear you're enjoying the early morning play times with your precious gift from God. God is so good!

Congratulations!

Welcome Home!!!!

Clara Beth is adorable.

Congratulations to you and your family.

Enjoy every minute of it. It goes by so fast. We are home 3 months already and it feels like yesterday that we were in China.

Again, congratulations
