Party of 5

Yesterday we got our official match with 2 sisters for Eliana!
They are 2 and 6 years old.
They are beautiful beyond belief.
We are all-around thrilled!!!!!!!!!


We first learned about them Dec 27th, but with the holidays and all it took until yesterday for the match meeting to take place. The agency said they think we are a perfect match!
What a tough week that was for us! We didn't want to say anything until we knew for sure, so we just kept it to ourselves and prayed A LOT!

The sad news for you all is that we can't post pictures on the internet until we go to court, which which won't be for at least another month.

We will travel to bring the girls home in 2-4 months!
Holy cow! Do you have any idea how much we have to do in that time!?!? I can feel a detailed list of lists forming in my head........



P.S. Happy Birthday Uncle Pat!!!!!
