First Family Picture!

This morning, prayers were answered as we received pictures of Lizette and Gage from another world away.  Our agency director has been working in DRC this week, and so we have been praying for good news to arrive in an email this weekend.  What came this morning totally blew us away...71 pictures of our GORGEOUS children with our care packages in their hands.  There are pictures of them holding toys we sent and with drawings Bella, Mia, and Brody drew for them. There are many pictures of my sweet little boy wearing the girly Hello Kitty jammies you see here, but then they changed him into one of the adorable little 2T outfits I sent, and it fits like a glove!  Lizette is obviously a girly girl because she's had a dress on in every picture I've sent, so she will fit right in with her sisters.  The pictures show brother and sister snuggled up close and interacting in such sweet ways, and there are so many of them SMILING!  I prayed that they would receive our package and find out that they have a family waiting for them here, and that this would bring them JOY.  These prayers have been answered.  In this picture, they hold the pictures of us, and it is our first glimpse of our complete family.  We have to keep their faces private until they are legally ours, but we couldn't wait to share this joy with you until then.  Please continue to pray that our adoption will move forward and that God will bring them home to us in His perfect timing.  Thanks for sharing in our journey!
