I have an unexpected opportunity to post today while the Grace Guest House is checking on our travels for Friday morning. Daddy and the babies are all sleeping. :)
We are so happy. I can't explain how natural and right it feels to be the parents of these two absolutely precious children. Any doubts or fears I've ever had about whether I would love them as much as I wanted to...they all seem silly now. I love them more every hour.
Our sweet girl is full of smiles and our handsome boy is chatty with us. They've taken to us immediately. I can't wait for you all to meet them!

I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart; I will recount all of Your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and exult in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. Psalm 9:1-2

To follow our journey, you can look through the archives in Dec 2009 when we received referrals for our kids and March 2010 when we traveled to Ethiopia to bring them home. Everything before and between those dates chronicles our adoption story and the marvels that the Lord has done for us.
