The kids were all so happy to meet each other. Simeon said it would have been the best birthday present ever, if it would have been his birthday. :) How sweet. Jude's dream has come true. Hope has a new best friend. Ava is totally indifferent. :) Liesel is glad to be home and I'm glad to have her. Joseph cried a little at bedtime, I'm sure he is totally confused. Only Papa could console him. Zoya sang herself to sleep and grinned very big when I kissed her goodnight. I think she is happy to have a mama.
So many stories to tell, but they will have to wait. For now here are a couple of photos. Good night.

I have that same Boyd's rabbit Zoya is sleeping with :) What a miracle to see them both in their beds in Oklahoma...no more orphans here!
Crying.my.eyes.out!
Praise the Lord. There is nothing more incredible than seeing them in their beds and hearing tales of the love of siblings and family. Love you sweet friend.
Simply cannot tell you how thrilled I am for all 9 of you! (and a wee bit jealous!)
Congrats. So happy for you all. Your family is amazing. Can't wait to hear the rest of the stories.

AAaaahhh. Journey of many prayers and much effort completed. All can rest from the months of uncertainty, waiting, and "battling" for the best life for these precious, blessed children. Accomplished. Their peaceful little bodies tucked in (and Zoya with her fingers in her mouth) say it all. Rest. You are home. So, so, so many celebrate with your whole family, Charissa. The fun begins!
Welcome home Joseph & Zoya!
