Wow, the boys have been home for four months already! We have been doing all the summer fun stuff and have found so much joy sharing in all of Eyob's firsts. Some of those firsts include his first time to the lake and fishing, as well as his first time horse back riding! He has been obsessed with horses from the very first time he saw one. A sweet friend let us ride their horses one evening last week. It was so very exciting for Eyob, Amelia, and Elaina.
The boys are doing wonderful. We still have our struggles, but things are amazing for only being home for four months. It is easy to forget that it has only been four months and somethings I find myself expecting more. My love grows each day with each experience we share with the boys; I am enjoying watching God's perfect plan play out in my life.
"God had planned something better for us so that only together with Him would they be made perfect." Hebrews 11:40

I love how Eyob had all the information ... TOO CUTE!
I love reading your posts! I seriously think your Eyob could be a model! WAIT... your whole family could be models!
, love keeping up with your family, and how you have glorified the Father throughout this adoption. It is such encouragement for me as we get ready to leave Aug 16, to pick up our 2 new boys, Micah 2, and Daniel 6 months. We will now be a family of 7! Thank you. Kim ksseitz@excite.com
Found a moment to read about your story : ) What a beautiful family! I am thrilled that we met today in Aldi's... I will definitely be telling my friend about you and your journey to your sons! Just precious and once again filled with awe for our great God!
Heather, just wanted to let you know my friend's name is Davett. I think she tried to email you yesterday... she's so excited to talk to you! : ) They are so ready to begin the process but just want to find exactly where the Lord wants them.
We will be praying for your family as you continue to adjust and bond!
Blessings, Marianne
You have such a beaautiful family. I love seeing new pictures.

Hi Heather!
I'm not sure you will remember me as a year or two younger than you. I grew up in Danvers...Kim Carlson. (maiden name)
I ran across your blog and think it is amazing what you have done. Your kids are so adorable! I actually saw your daughter in hs play v-ball a few weeks ago in Prairie Central vs Oly game. My husband is the freshman coach for Prairie Central's team. Anyways, I think it is wonderful you have adopted 2 beautiful children. Congratulations! :)
Kim
