Our first glimpse of our children.
So, it has been one year since we first laid eyes on our children's faces. I can still remember what a rush of feelings coursed through my body as we viewed their sweet faces on our computer screen.
These two have come SO FAR out of their shells since they first came into our family. And the crazy thing is that we thought they were pretty far out of their shells from the get go. That just means they fit REALLY well in our family, able to be super silly and LOUD.
Jambo is one big snuggle bug. At first, he would allow us to hold him and snuggle with him, but now he snuggles back FULLY, wrapping his arms around us and burrowing his head into our necks. It is so awesome to see how God has allowed this little guy to love us so completely.
Kume was somewhat skiddish at first, and quite tentative and cautious. Those characteristics are rarely seen anymore. Instead, she prefers to boss her brother around, bring him to tears with her relentless teasing, and tattle to anyone who will listen (yes, we are working on this).
February 27 will always hold a very special place in my heart.

wow, a year since referral already! Your kids are so adorable; glad to hear they are a perfect fit for your family. It'll be interesting to see how littlest sister fits in as well. :)
Congrats!
We met our children on Feb. 4, last year. What a year it has been!

What a beautiful family you are! Congrats on one year.
Wow. A whole year. They are beautiful and thriving!
They are so beautiful! I can't wait to be in your shoes, looking back on a year with our twins. Oh, and the tattling... it's a girl thing. This I learned in my years coaching gymnastics to girls in the 4-10 age range!
Happy Happy Anniversary!!! The pics are priceless and seeing the changes, well, that too!!! I hope you get to celebrate, such a special day and memory and clearly, they are doing so well...and so are you! And so will your next sweet one, soon soon soon. PRaying for speed! Love M

I remember this so well!!! Rejoicing with you in God's goodness.
The referral picture brought tears to my eyes. Your twins and my girls were living together then. So much has happened in one short yet looong year! (o:
It is amazing to see how far they have come! Enjoy this wonderful anniversary!
Sounds like they are adjusting well. I keep checking your blog to get an update on lil B.
WOW! Where does the times go?!?!?! It's so great to see your family thriving and doing so well. I look forward to the newest addition!

Thanks for your comment on my blog, about Reverse Racism.
I just posted an update on my Racism post, with a link to a post I wrote last summer that gives all of the details about the Reverse Racism that our family has encountered. I would encourage you to not only read last summer's post, but to read the comments for that post. Some of my readers had some good pieces of advice.
Blessings,
Laurel
Happy Referral Day! What beautiful children :)
