Thank You!

I can't even begin to thank everyone for the endless love for our children.  Over the last 4 days we've had countless friends and neighbors calling, Skyping, emailing, and stopping by just to celebrate our joy with us.  It has been AMAZING and overwhelming at the outpouring of love for them.  Our friend Ashley brought us dinner on Friday so I didn't have to cook which was incredible!  Cooking takes on a whole new meaning with 6 of us now!  Thank you for loving our children and our family and for the countless prayers over the last few months.  Rebekah and Elijah made their first appearance with our church family today and they were hugged and kissed more than any two kids I've ever seen.  There is lots of tears and what an awesome testament to Him it was for us today. How blessed we are to have our church family for them to grow up with.  They have been our rock of support. 

Thus far transitions have been REALLY great, both kids are sleeping through the night, even getting up to the bathroom during the night by themselves! Elijah is doing well in his OWN big boy bedroom and they've been having a blast playing.  That's all the kids have been doing for 4 days is playing.  Nolan and Abigail are THRIVING in their big brother and big sister role.  Nolan even rocked Elijah before his nap yesterday. :)  I couldn't ask for an easier transition as of yet  The sandbox has been a huge hit!  I DID make a big mistake, I went to the grocery store while the kids were napping and Rebekah was upset to wake up and I wasn't there. :)  She missed mom.  :)  So here's to an incredible 4 days as a whole family!  I LOVE IT!

Blessings!  Here is some more pictures!
