What a Difference a Week Makes

Today was the day that we knew was coming. The day when Katie Kay felt comfortable enough to relax and trust us enough to allow us to see her cute, playful and fun side of her personality. We started early by Skyping with Laura Sims, James, Nathan and Kirby. The others had met Katie Kay via Skype last week on Gotcha Day but this was the first time we had seen or talk with Kirby. It was very sweet to watch our oldest daughter with our 2 1/2 yr old daughter on the other side of the world, introduce and interact with their new baby sister. Technology is great but God is so much greater !

Katie Kay laughed, teased, played and amazed us all day today. It's amazing what a difference a week makes in the lives of these precious children when they receive the unconditional love and full attention  from parents that we all long for. Here are a few pictures we where able to take that captures just a little of the joy and blessings we received today.

"This is the day which the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it" - Psalm 118:24

Good morning - What's for breakfast ?

Why don't you get me dressed and take me to the great big park across the street?

I'm not sure if we enjoyed people watching at the park more than the people at the park enjoyed watching us ?

 Hey Dad wouldn't it be great if you took me to the pool for my first swim after getting so hot at the park?

Mom, what time is Molly coming over to play and make sure I have a really cute hair bow - please.

I really love your hair bow Molly.

It's so pretty, can I just touch it?

I have an idea; let's play pirates and you be the pirate, OK?

I'm sorry Molly - will you please come play another day?

These are two incredibly precious girls who we hope will grow up to be good friends and allow us to share this miraculous story they have in common - A story that only God could write….
