Sisters

What great friends and sisters Sarah Grace and Caroline are. They have bonded quickly. Neither wants to be away from the other for very long. They play together and make each other giggle. Sarah Grace loves teaching Caroline new things and they find plenty of mischief together. Sarah Grace loves saying that Caroline is her "very best friend." It's just how we imagined sisters would be. (They, of course, love to bicker over toys and sitting in Mom's lap)

Sarah Grace will be 3 1/2 next week. She started gymnastics today and seems so grown-up. She currently loves writing letters, watching "Super Why," helping me cook, crafts (in its loosest definition), telling long stories, and making up "knock, knock jokes." She asks everyday if it is almost spring. We are ready.

Here are some of our favorite shots of the girls. The first shot is of the girls at a Bounce House with 2 of their friends. They bounced and jumped for a long time but then all ended up on the bench watch "Ni-hao Kai-Lan" and "Diego."

The second picture is their first Sunday at church. Caroline was not happy to have to stop playing and have a photo shoot but I desperately wanted a picture of them in their dresses so I insisted.

The third picture is the 2 girls enjoying TV together. I had to take this one fast b/c Caroline will only watch TV for about 60 seconds at a time.

The last shot is one of my recent favorite of Sarah Grace.

Praise God about Caroline's heart! And the sister photos are truly precious! What a beautiful family you have. It is amazing w/ each addition how the workload/laundry piles triple, isn't it!
God bless!

It's good to hear from you! I think I've been looking almost everday for an update. The girls are so cute! You must be having a great time with them! We can't wait to start this all over again! I guess we have to wait until Jan. 09. I'm glad to hear her heart looks good!
Keep in touch, Tonya

I'm so glad to see the pictures and update! They are adorable together - I especially love the last one! We can't wait until spring either - hopefully it's just around the corner. Then we can all play outside!

Hey, there! What wonderful news about Caroline's heart!!! THAT is a God thing, eh? She is SO cute, as is Sarah Grace! Can't wait to see them both sometime soon! I love the photo of the two of them on the sofa together...

Hope to see you soon!

The girls look wonderful! I was thrilled to see your update, I have been checking all the time. I would love to get together when the weather gets nice. I am glad everyone is adjusting so well! Have a great Easter.

I liked your comment about two children keeping you busier than you thought...adding that second one is harder than adding #3 (or even #4 in my case!). Really! I love to see your two China dolls together; it's like they've been together forever!
Love, the other Angie

What a wonderful daughters you have! I've read everything because we hope to travel to Nanhai SWI too to get our little boy. We got a referral 2 weeks ago. It was nice to read how Caroline was bonding and how well she was cared for. We wish you all the luck in the world!!!

Your girls have beautiful smiles. We also recently added #2 and it's an amazing thing to watch how quickly they grow into siblings.
