Paris went home...

On Monday, I brought Paris back to Bethany to be re-united with her mom. It was bittersweet! Our family has grown to love Paris over the two weeks she was with us. Paris was a fantastic baby and God really gave us an easy one to start with! She slept great, ate great, and never cried unless there was a reason. It was nice to see her back with her mom, she had really missed Paris and that was obvious. We aren't sure of details with her mom, but she had gotten several things in her life sorted out so she was able to take Paris back and care for her. I thank you for all of your prayers and the support from all of our friends and family. 

One thing God has shown me through Paris' stay with us is that this is not just our ministry. It is the ministry of every friend who held her for me so I could participate in my kids' field day. It is the ministry of my sister who gave me tremendous help almost every day I had Paris! I think Laura will miss Paris as much as I will! It is the ministry of a generous friend, Tina, who gave up several hours to come babysit so I could go to the movies and lunch with my mom, sister and good friend Sharon. Everyone who held her took part in ministering to her and I thank you all!
