The girls found out about their new family at the beginning of February. I made photo books through Shutterfly with pictures of our family, our house, and our pets and sent them to the girls. Our agency has a liaison in Manila and she took the books to the girls. She sent us new pictures and short videos the day the girls found out. They have grown so much! It was so wonderful to see their smiling, happy faces :) When we got the videos of the girls we learned that they can speak and read English. What an awesome answer to prayer this is!
Every day is one day closer to bringing our girls home. Their paperwork is at immigration now being processed for Visas. Greg and Jordan have worked hard painting Harper's new room and the girls' new room and bathroom. Harper has moved into her new room. We ordered the girls' bedroom furniture over the weekend and it will be here next week. In about 2 weeks, the house should be completely ready for its new family members.
We hope to get to Skype with the girls soon. We are waiting for the Child Care Agency to set up a Skype Schedule. The girls are very busy with end of school year activities. We are thinking of topics to talk to them about - interesting, right?
Cole has one more basketball tournament left in this season. His team has qualified to play in the TVBA Final 4 at UNA. Congratulations to the DHCA 6th grade team!
Harper's dance team is having a Platinum season - and if you don't know anything about dance competition, Platinum is excellent!
Jordan is getting started with track season. He has been running in the cold - brrrrrrr. The first track meet is this weekend.
