Freedom!

We will never again celebrate the 4th of July the same way in our house.  On July 4th, we officially became Mom and Dad to our newest daughters.......  our country's day to celebrate independence was our daughters' day of freedom from a life in an orphanage.......

Introducing--

Sima

and

Vaida

 Thanking God for all He has done to bless us with our two precious girls!  What a journey our trip was---so many things to share!  Just not enough time!

We arrived home on Sunday night and Monday I pulled a ligament in my knee so am on crutches---thankfully we have had great help here and the weather has been fantastic to sit outside.

The girls have had some great new experiences--

Being barefoot---

Playing in water--

Getting to know their siblings--

It is wonderful to see more and more of their personalities!  We love the bond they have and love to see them starting to experience so many new things.

Have learned so much about His love for us and His love for the orphan---and that no child should have to live out life without a family---more thoughts on that later.
