6 Months

Happy 6 month Gotcha Day, Annabelle and Timothy!

I can't believe it's been 6 months since
two scared and confused little ones were placed in our arms.
 

 

(March 5, 2012)

 

 The months have passed quickly.

God is doing amazing things!

I've seen so many changes in Annabelle and Timothy and in the rest of us. These two little ones had persevered through much before we met them and then some more since arriving in a new family, a new culture, a new world.

Both have gone from not understanding one syllable of English to speaking, understanding and communicating very well. They are learning so much everyday. Both love to go to their classes at church and sleep in their own rooms. We are still working through some uncertainty and sadness at times with one of them, but both fit into our family so well....

just as God had planned all along.

It is amazing to see their transformations!

Also, it has warmed my heart to see my big kids step right in and love on their new siblings. I knew they would, but to actually see it in action brings tears to a mother's eyes. Alexandra and Hunter are awesome story readers, puzzle helpers, hide-n-seekers, ticklers and even diaper changers. (Yes, even Hunter has changed a diaper or two. :) )

We are blessed to be a family of SIX!

Annabelle too.

Finally settled.
