Sweet Thoughts!

I love blog posts with pictures, so I thought I would post some pictures of gifts that our girls have received ALREADY from some thoughtful friends!  They deserve more than this simple thank you. 
Others have given, too, in so many ways, but more on that later!  ;o)  On to the pictures!
They include (but not in this order!):
1. Some gifts that Sam and I bought on our last anniversary.  I just couldn't wait to get them something!
2. My sister in law gave them this pretty reminder of God's love for them.  It was one of the first presents they got when we announced we were adopting. 
3. These cute little stuffies were from two of Sam's students in his programs.  So thoughtful of those girls!
4. My coworker gave us these BEAUTIFUL paintings of scenes from Peter Rabbit for the girls' room.  I was very touched because they came from her son's nursery - very special and hard for her to part with, I am sure.  I will certainly treasure them (and they go with the room perfectly!).
5. Lastly, this is a picture of a few wrapped presents we bought for the girls this Christmas.  I couldn't let the season go by without that concrete reminder that they are out there, waiting.  I am so thankful that God came into this world and adopted US to be His sons and daughters.  I hope the girls can open them sooner rather than later!
As always, thanks for reading, praying and being part of this journey.  It means so much to us.
