No longer out-numbered!

I've been outnumbered by the women in my life for the last 5 years, now the tides have turned! Three boys now! Our house is not going to be a quiet one. For those of you looking for a nice quiet vacation, our house is not going to be it! We not only have a very loud and intense 5 year old girl, we now have two loud and intense boys. Good thing I insulated my basement ceiling extra good! Thanks Randy D for talking me into that! Our house is sure going to be fun.

We absolutely love our boys. They are so precious. We couldn't be happier right now. Still stunned by how God worked it out. Anybody would be so lucky to have them, and they end up in our family. God is so incredibly awesome.

Walking down the hall of the hotel to blog every night I pass many doors with crying babies on the other side. It is the most beautiful sound. Not the crying in itself, but what it represents. Many parents going through the same thing we are. Many different excellent parents that are changing these orphans lives forever. We have met so many great people. Some adopting their first and others multiples or they are adopting again. One lady today I met is adopting her 8th - a down syndrome 5 year old. Just awesome. It is so cool to hear those cries. Those cries represent lives changed forever.

Today I was downtown doing all sorts of things in the rain. Paperwork. The most important thing was signing the court declaration. They boys are ours! Tomorrow we need to get their medicals done, pick up passports, and go to the consulate. Thank God we don't need to go to Moscow and that is being taken care of for us! All this will be done when Sawyer is supposed to be sleeping...it may be brutal. That can be the prayer request for tomorrow!
