Tomorrow begins the year our big girl turns 13. We have a teenager…or nearly one. She will become a teenager while we're gone. I think she'll do it well, though. She's kind and generous of heart. She's a pretty great big sister. She seems to know well who and whose she is.
Tomorrow we leave on an adventure. We begin the last leg of our journey to meet Emmy. We'd love your prayers as we journey…
- for safety in travel in the air and on the ground
- for smooth sailing at home for our big three and my parents as they tackle the schedule and life with two big dogs
- for Emmy's heart and for ours -- that they will recognize each other and that the recognition will make the transition a little bit easier for her
- for peace in her heart in the moments when we don't respond right, smell right, feel right, act right…
We look forward to sharing this journey with you.
Love,
Mandy and Steve

Lots of prayers for you guys. She will have amazing siblings at home waiting for her and some great role models.
Enjoy the journey and we can't wait to meet Emmy when you get back.
I read all the blog posts and I have determined it's going to be a teary day... 😉Reading your words is a profound way to start the New Year! How incredibly beautiful it is to hear your hearts. It is like hearing the very heart of God and catching a glimpse of His deep and wide and vast love for us. What a privilege to know your family and to watch you walk this journey of Emmy becoming a Pouliot. I will pray that God would speak to her little heart the words of Eli. That somehow from the first time she sees you and Steve that she would just know... The benefits of being part of your family far outweigh the cost. I will be praying... ❤️
