We are getting super close to leaving! Airline tickets are all purchased, apartments are books and paid for, rental van is secured, and the packing has begun! It's so neat to pick out of the closets, outfits that have been given to us, and know that when they are unpacked, they will be put on our new children!
This week in our weekly email, we sent these pictures to the twins, showing them all the "stuff" we have prepared for them. We don't have in the picture the snow boots, snow pants, coats, hats, gloves, and scarves we have for them, too!
It's getting more and more real- and the excitement is starting to actually mount!
Through the joys of the internet, I was able to "meet" a sweet lady who was IN Lithuania, adopting 3 precious children of her own, from the same Baby House, and even the same GROUP, as our twins! She told me that once, Annalise came up to her, calling her "Momma!" Annalise is clearly excited about having a Momma- and that just melts and breaks and overfills my heart! She did tell me how impressed she was with the Baby House and how loved the kids are. That also warms my heart! It is wonderful how God is knitting our family together- and also connecting us with people who have children from the same place. This family and I plan to have Skype sessions for the children once we return to the States. How sweet for our kids to be able to maintain friendships from their Groupa? Chances are good that they have known each other for years- and considering they are so young, that's a good chunk! God is truly amazing!
