We all (Mary and I) :) Decided that Matthew looks very much like Jax since Jax has had his haircut :) Thus, meaning he is ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE ;) Same with Ivanna. Can't wait for you all to get her home, get them gaining weight and see Ivanna's hair grown out with pretties in them. We love you and miss you so much already!!! You are truly living an ABUNDANT LIFE!!

It brings back a flood of memories and emotion of when we met our little ones in an orphanage director's office. As well as memories of some death-defying rides in Serge's beamer! ;) God Bless your sweet family as you get to know your newest members. Ivanna is so much like my baby Amelia, with the low tone. She will thrive with your love and a little PT!Sherry Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00103099940473998389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4582717591524999558.post-63783865032013108872010-11-01T11:32:37.933-07:002010-11-01T11:32:37.933-07:00This Mama's been waiting a long time to see th...This Mama's been waiting a long time to see these two little ones rescued.
