New Pictures

So I (Shawn) came home the other day after work where I was quickly escorted downstairs for a "meal"! :) Sophie had set the table with play food and wanted me to come and play with her. The fact is she wanted me, Deb, and Katie to play with her, but Mom was busy cooking real dinner. So instead, Sophie invited "other" guests, yeah, you guessed it from the picture, babies. Needless to say, we had our hands full feeding the babies and eating our "dinner". It was a good time. Katie and Deb did eventually join for a bit and we shared a lot of fun and laughter

The influence of the big brothers has Sophie shooting hoops! This girl loves to be outside, even enduring some of the recent high winds we have had here.

This journey of adoption has been incredible. It brings tears to my eyes when I think of how God has blessed us so. I think back on the night before we had to make a decision about Sophie's referral. I sat on the bed looking at the Wikipedia page about her special need and I was overwhelmed. God asked me to close that page and look at her picture. I am so glad that he directed me to the girl I was thinking of adopting and not her condition, because she is awesome, amazing, and wonderful (I told her so today).

We are blessed.
