Char just told me that you were blogging every day about your adventure to pick up your girls, so I found day #1 and am starting from here and working my way back (forward?). So exciting!

It seems like having Jasper and Ruby just helps the process smoother for everyone. I love that Ruby was so set on staying with her new sisters and that she is so happy to have sisters. I've thought of this experience mostly from your perspective and Steve's perspective, but not as much from Jasper and Ruby's. They are awesome kids. I keep picturing their birth mom looking down feeling so grateful that her girls will finally get you as their mom. I hope their birth dad somehow gets word that his girls are being welcomed with open arms into such an amazing family. Wow, Emily. What a crazy thing this life experience is. Love the names by the way. Yeah!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983032414628219339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10302227.post-79225180077085223562009-10-12T22:39:23.024-06:002009-10-12T22:39:23.024-06:00P.S.

You can already see that the girls hearts are open to letting you in as their new family. I just couldn't be any more happy for you than I am at this moment. Enjoy the time there, don't rush things, we'll be here waiting when you get back. Hugs and kisses to Jasper and Ruby for being the best big brother and sister anyone could have. Welcome to the neighborhood Saffron and Willa!!

Can't wait to see you all at Christmas when things hopefully will have settled down a bit. <br /><br />It's amazing how children don't need words to communicate. A set of Magnetic dolls will do the trick. That's great. Have fun sight seeing. You know it's going to be the last trip for a while! Good luck with the rest of the process. I'm sure your still a little uneasy about all that needs to be done before you come home. Just take long, deep breaths. You are awesome. I can't believe you are there and have met the girls! Thanks for the pictures too. We are loving seeing all of you.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588642023533731552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10302227.post-44828404139888023442009-10-12T13:21:22.710-06:002009-10-12T13:21:22.710-06:00How wonderful!!
