3-3-11...3 months since we first met

Today is 3-3-11....March 3.  Today marks 3 months since Jeff, Rachel and Kayla met Michael and Matthew for the very first time.  That's 90 days!  How can it only have been 3 months when it seems like they have always been in our family??  Funny how that works.  Here are a couple of pictures of that first day.  Oh my goodness, how they have changed and grown in the past 3 months!!!



No longer are their eyes glazed over from lack of stimulation.  No longer does their skin hang off their bones from starvation and dehydration.  No longer are they cold and hungry.  No longer are they alone.  

Michael and Matthew are happy, energetic, joyful little boys today.  They have a mommy, daddy, brothers and sisters who adore them. Their eyes are bright and filled with wonder.  Their tummy's are full and they are gaining weight and growing.  It's been a GREAT 3 months and we cannot wait for the next 3 months...and the next...and the next...!

Hard to believe it has been three months - thanks for the reminder, I totally missed out date! I was just thinking that we arrived home 9 weeks ago yesterday. Time flies and God is GOOD!
