We took a celebration family hike and girl picked me my first ever mommy daughter flowers from the field
 
 A booty painting by Emma Grace Goodson.  By the time it was all said and done, she had paint from one end to the other and was in the buff sliding all over the paper. 
 

One month ago today was the wonderful day we finally met for the first time.  Today is your/our one month Gotcha Day anniversary!!
 
One month ago today we meet Emma Grace for the first time in Shanghai, China.  A lot has happened in this month.  We've had good times.......we've had bad times......we've operated on no sleep.....we've had tears.....we've had fights.....but all the times have been blessed!  It seems so long ago.  Seems longer than a month.  I can not remember what times were like before you now.  I like that!  I guess when you spend 24 hours a day with someone life changes.  I like the change!  We need more change!  Changes for the better for us! 
 
The next several months will be hard.  Now we are still only communicating with signals and a few sounds/grunts.  Soon the doctors at the Cleveland Clinic will guide us to helping you learn to speak as well as Help Me Grow. We know Emma Grace will need years of speech therapy in order to talk - we were told by our international doctor upon returing to the US.  We as a family of three are ready for the challenge!  We can hardly wait to tell you to pipe it down! 
 
Tomorrow will be our one month anniversary as a family of 3 Goodsons!!  Special times are a happening!  For tonight......mama made you some jello!  Mama's first jello......mama never felt the need to make it before.....sad....but true!  It was easy! 
 
Love you Emma Grace Goodson!  Looking forward for your nap to be over so we can play some more! 
 
Love you forever and ever!
