3rd Annual Adoption Day

On March 29, we celebrated our 3rd Annual Adoption Day with the girls. This is the anniversary of the day our adoption was finalized with the court and we were able to take the girls out of the orphanage.

Here's a photo of the girls sitting on Daddy's lap the first night they spent with us:



Adoption Day happened to fall on the same day as Bridget's Spring Festival at school. We spent part of the afternoon there. Here are the girls eating snow cones:



Here are some photos from our celebration this year. The girls each had their own little Happy Adoption Day cake.




It's weird thinking that we've only had them for three years; it seems like we've had them forever. We love them even more than we did then, if that's possible. They are so loving and trusting, despite the hardships they've faced in their young lives. God has truly blessed us by entrusting them to our care.

My New Nephew

Here's a photo of Darin Geoff Sowder, son of DeAnn and Wayne Sowder, born on Easter morning, March 23, at 8:45 p.m. He weighed 7 lbs., 7.7 oz and was 20" long. Isn't he a cutie?

Easter 2008

The day before Easter, we had an egg hunt at our church. Angela, a friend and one of the organizers of the event, gave the girls a large inflated bunny. They loved playing with it.



Here are some pix of the girls from Easter Day:
