6 months ago today, we had been in Rwanda for just a day... we traveled down the unbelievably steep, dirt road... came upon the brick barrier walls and the shocking blue gates. My eyes were filling with tears as I was realizing what we were about to experience. This is what we had been waiting for... after what seemed like a few hundred negative pregnancy tests, a few hundred prayers, a few hundred pieces of paper, a few thousand dollars (understatement!), a few thousand miles.... it was all of the emotions welling up inside of me and I could not believe the day had finally arrived.
I am not one for being so open with intimate details, and with this being the 'world wide web' it leaves me feeling a bit exposed!.... this photo almost feels like I'm showing you the moment I was giving birth to my second child :) But, here it is... the moment we first laid our eyes on our daughter; May 23, 2010. I won't soon forget that moment.. and I thank Hanna (I believe) for capturing it with our camera! What a picture!
As I reflect on the past 6 months... I have so much to be thankful for. How blessed we are to be the parents of two wonderful little girls. Evelyn is the best big sister and Lindy is relishing in the attention that comes from her. As we were driving in the car this evening, Evelyn was getting the best laughs out of Lindy... it fills my heart with unspeakable joy. God is good, He continues to amaze me.
