Six Months

January 25, 2014, today marks six months.  Six months since we saw the faces of our precious children for the first time.  Six months since we fell in love and first learned that we are going to have a son AND a daughter.

In some ways I can't believe its been that long and in other ways, it feels like its been a year.  Some days it feels like the time will never come to go get them and other days it feels like it will be here before we know it.

Not a day goes by that I don't think about and pray for them.  Precious children, how I long to hold them, to cuddle them, read to them, hear them laugh, chase them around the yard, and most of all, just to have them near and have them know how deeply they are loved.  Its a crazy thing really, how you can love two little people who you have never met so very much.

Lord willing, in about another six months we will be on our way to bring them home.  We are praying for things to happen quicker than that, but are told to expect it to be at least that much longer.

In the meantime, we get updates and new pictures of them every four months and every three months we can send them each a small care package.  Its nice to be able to have even this small connection with them. Six months down, hopefully not that many more to go!
