Adoption updates!

Hello everyone, I wanted to say for the record, how things are going. I have come to realize there are more people wondering how things are going, than I even know. Spring and Rebeckah, formerly Lovetta and Princess, have been with us for almost one year now. I tell everyone that adoption is more like bumper cars, than the roller coaster it is always being compared to. You are zooming along then, crash! There is a problem. Also, like bumper cars, the crash is soon over, and usually with no apparent damage, even though we take a step back to re-evaluate our situation. There have been many bumps to our adoption car, but I have to say that overall, our family is good, our "adjustments" have gone well so far, and under no circumstances do we regret our girls coming home. WE LOVE HAVING THEM HERE!!!!
The accomplishments they are responsible for over the last 10 months are just wonderful,things like ballet and dance lessons, singing on stage at our church, trips across country, horseback riding, PAYING SUMMER JOBS!! These are just the ones I have time to mention. Some more important things, they are really learning what a family is about, and they are showing much love and respect. They are helpful around the house, they follow our rules. These things might sound small to some of you, but I bet they don't if you have a teen at your house! I really want to post a few photos, to show you our happy moments lately, but the internet is down on the computer with the photos. If I can I wil add them later
