Corrie Sifan Rose
She soaks up every ounce of life and then gives it back as she pours out her joy on all she meets….
She has now been home with her forever family just over 2 years, yet it seems like a lifetime, as none of us can imagine our family with her not in the mix…she truly completes us!!
She looks up to her big sister and tries to do everything she does. But she also enjoyed the one on one mommy time when big sister went off to kindergarten this year…
She loves her family to pieces and from day one…seemed to find her place in the mix. She is quick to show affection both verbally and physically. She will pronounce “I love you sooooo much” followed by a kiss on the cheek…
Celebrating her 3rd birthday!!
Always loving any kind of celebration with her family!
She is exuberant and joyful, strong-willed and independent…a pure delight!!
She is proud to be an American, but she loves her “Opia” as she refers to the land of her birth!
No doubt this little one was heaven sent to her forever family and we are forever grateful!!

Corrie, you are most certainly a gift from God to all who know you! I can't wait to see all that God has in store for you. We love you!
ReplyDelete"She is exuberant and joyful, strong-willed and independent…a pure delight!!" ~ Yep, that sums up the darling little sprite I know. So looking forward to Mondays with Corrie this school year!
ReplyDeleteAnd so, so thankful that both you and Battle listened to God's quiet whisper guiding you to "opia" and back to bring her into the fold!
Oh my goodness. I just came across this. Kenli and I have just laughed and talked about how beautiful and grown up she is. It's hard to believe. Oh how we loved that sweet little girl. She was full of joy... real, pure joy. It's nice to see the pictures and hear how well she is doing. God is so good. What a blessing you have been given in Corrie Sifan Rose. Thank you for sharing your wonderful life with the rest of us :) Please give her kisses from us.
ReplyDeleteOh, it makes my heart happy to see (Corrie) Sifan so obviously loved and happy. She used to stay with us sometimes when she was a baby out in Gimbie. I have baby pictures of her if you want any more. Facebook "message" me at Becky Carlton Dice if you'd like the pictures. Blessings! Becky
