is well, busy. The transition has been loooooong and not easy. But we are making some progress. I will be back on my groups and FB one of these days. Working full time with 4 kiddos is a little challenging. But I'm finding my way.
We just celebrated two birthdays this week; Emmi turned 13 on Monday and Faith turned 13 on Tues. They are like night and day. I think about it often how Emmi was adopted at 1 year and has grown into this beautful young lady. Now with Faith, I think about all she has missed. She is a beautiful young lady as well and I look so forward to seeing her heart warm and grow, especially in God. We are having to go back and reteach behaviors. But we are making some progress. You can read all the books there are to prepare you for an older child adoption, but nothing I read prepared me for this adoption. It's not bad, just challenging and sometimes a little overwhelming. But we've come a long way in the last six months.
Here are some pictures of my virtual twins (age only). Aren't they beautiful?
