Just a few more days and Greg and I will be on our way to bring Myla, Rea, Sheryl, and Rosemarie home! We have been Skyping with them every weekend. They were so excited last night. Sheryl asks the most questions. "Mommy, do you have snakes there?" "Mommy, do you have Coco Krispies there?" "Daddy, can we go to the beach?" Since Harper and Myla are the older sisters, they have the title of "Ate" (pronounced a-tay). The younger girls already look up to Ate Harper and love to talk to her when we Skype. Harper's life is so interesting to them. The girls love to sing for us. We have entertained them with our singing as well, but our singing is more like a comedy routine. They always want to see our cat, Emory. Emory gets to look into the computer's camera and give her best purr.
I want to thank everyone who has helped us and prayed for us over the past 16 months. There is no way that this would be possible without God and all of the love and support of our family and friends. We have received so much help on the house and gifts for the girls. Your actions are changing lives. Please continue to pray for all 10 of us in the Garner family. We have lots of adjustments over the next 24 months. We will need your prayers every day.
We will be able to post pictures of our beautiful girls soon. Be looking for their smiling faces. I hope to blog from the Philippines to tell you what we are experiencing.
With love,
Lesley
Lesley, your excitement is palpable! I can't wait to see pictures of the new Garner daughters. Be assured of our prayers in these days. I'm proud of you.
