A Complete Family

Hellooo, Bloggers!

 I'm terribly sorry for the lack of updating. I hope that all of the pictures in the last blog made up for it! haha
 Well, it's day 11 here at home with our WHOLE family. :) We're doing well...it's very hard, for Sophie....for both of the little boys...for all of us. I think it's very shocking for me because I didn't expect it to be this hard. It's going to take a long while for us to be settled in together. But, we'll get there. God brought us this far, He won't leave things the way they are. I have hope that God is working right now and that we will see it later. But for a week and a half, we're doing well.
 We're seeing improvements every day in Sophia! I think she likes her home...she is experiencing a lot of new things - it's a good thing she's adventerous! I think she likes us, too! We have seen so many smiles in her...she's so happy. She's so silly and goofy and crazy and LOUD and she's learning to be sweet and she always keeps us laughing (and running!).
 We have been at home for the most part, it's better for the kids....but if you see us out in public, it probably looks like a circus. I'm not kidding when I say that the attention is ALWAYS on us..we get so many looks! And usually leave the place with some kind of snacks or something spilled or messed up. Eating out is a no for us anymore. ;)
 Though my family has become quite insane, I say this with all honesty in my heart- I wouldn't want it any other way.

 We appreciate all prayers. We are in much need of them. There's a lot more going on that's more personal and carrying burdens makes the walk very weary very fast. Please pray for us as we continue this journey as a family, that we will gain strength and joy. Please pray that God will heal the wounds so deep in the hearts of the little ones in our family. And pray that we will find peace along the way. Thank you all so much.

 Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
