Three months...

Tomorrow marks three months since we have been home. I truly cannot believe it. This last week was by far our best week yet. We had one off day, but the other four were good... really good. Thank you all for your prayers. They are working!

The other day I thought I would do a quick photo shoot. Each year I give the grandparents a photo calendar of the kids and I was still missing a really good photo of all five of the kids together. So, I dressed them up and got them into the pose I thought would look good and can you believe that they all smiled for every single picture. I was so proud of them!

It was a huge ahah moment for me. Even though our road has not been an easy one, everyone is adjusting and bonding. I believe these pictures tell the story without me saying a word. We are making progress... thank you Lord!

Tisha, oh yes, I absolutely see the bonding happening, and the trust forming. I can look back on our older son's first pictures and see the uncertainty and anxiety written all over his face (in a way I couldn't really see at the time). As time wears on, you can see the change in expression.

I can see that in your girls. Their smiles are reaching their eyes. The photos are absolutely precious. And, by the way, your boys look a lot more certain too. :)

It's amazing! They are all smiling and looking wonderful. But I have to agree with your last post--America "cold" (especially Maine.)
