Instant large family

They are complete!  Yep, our good friends and their kids landed today from Ethiopia.  R.(girl) is 13, S.(boy) is 12, Y. (boy) is 8, and E.(boy) is 4 or 5.  Sweet kids.  After many many years of infertility and pursuing adoptions,
here is the whole beautiful and God-woven family
Here is the sign Abby, Dillon, and I made for them.  Dillon drew the American flag and did a darn good job.  Abby is a natural artist.  I, on the other hand, attempted to draw a soccer ball in honor of the 12yr old son, S., who loves soccer.  Lame-o, it looked awful.
Here are the 2 littles of the new fam.  Baby E. is the miracle surprise :)  Little man E. is 4 or maybe 5, with his face full of personality and shine, was such a sweet ham!  He kissed everyone he met on both cheeks and gave squeezing hugs.
So fun to see the culmination of them being posted on my prayer list on the bathroom mirror the last 2 years.  Cross them off...on to pray for some more mountains to move....hmmmm?
And, in the perfect order of celebrations in Texas, we stopped for cheap Tex-Mex.
