Robert and I have been married for four years just this past March 25th. A year and half before we were married, he broke up with his ex-girlfriend. We just found out that he has a daughter with this ex-girlfriend. The little girl is four and a half years old. He never knew. We drove across three states this weekend to meet her. Her name is Lyanna (pronounced Lee Anna).
There are, of course, many layers to this story. I want to tell it well so I'm going to break it down into parts. There are things that I've learned about myself and my husband in three short weeks. Amazing things and some painful things, too. These past three weeks have been a rollercoaster of emotions. But at the end of the ride, is our new daughter. Isn't she beautiful?
I think the first part I'll tell you is how Robert and I met and fell in love. It's an awesome story that involves broken hearts, attics, The Muppet Show and a Roomba.

She is beautiful...just like the rest of your family. :)
I can't wait to hear the part about The Muppet Show...I already know the other things you mentioned...
WOW! She is beautiful! Can I claim her as another granddaughter? Love to you all, Carmen
Well, my 'nuther daughter and my adopted son-in-law has presented us with a 'nuther granddaughter, I hope. Can't wait to apply the spoiling that she is due
What a cutie. Everything happens for a reason, at least that's what I like to think.
Of course you can claim her! We wouldn't have it any other way. Love you guys. And thanks Mark. I believe that, too.
Read this the other day - didn't know what to say. Still don't, except to echo the others: she is beautiful.
She is very beautiful. I can hardly wait to hear all the stories that come from this one phone call--a perfect way to let us share in your blessing.
