Both boys continue to be a joy! Our close friends organized a church welcome home party for the boys - thank you Denise and Deanna. They were so excited and happy. You could tell by their reactions to everything that they were pleased. Today when we went to church they were saying hi to everyone! I am so glad they feel loved!
Adam's sunday school class gave him an action Bible with pictures (like a comic book). They all signed it - he showed me with a beaming smile what his new friends gave him. Titus was given a Bible by one of Bryan's chinese workmates. So now both boys have Bibles they can read in english and chinese.
After a week of doctor and dentist appointments, a party and a youth overnight lock in (which they both loved) we are taking a week off to relax - well sort of:) One of our bio boys turns 14 on Tue, I turn 46 (yes it is true I am getting old) on Wed and both new boys turn 13 and 14 on friday...another son turns 4 on Monday...so more parties, but low key:) We are getting Titus an MP3 player and Adam wants an airsoft gun (his new passion and something he is very good at despite his visual impairment) I hope they are both surprised and pleased. We are trying not to get carried away at birthdays since we have so many kids (but I think I can squeeze out a few more than that for their first bday home:)
Here are pics of the welcome home party:

Just found you on AOK China! Also sent you a message in response to your response to my post there. :0) I see after a brief read that we share more than a first name. So thankful to see you are my sister in Christ. Your new sons are so handsome and seem to be doing very well! Lifting you up in prayer as you negotiate this education road.
In Him,
Jennifer
That is fantastic. Mind if I share on my blog?
Dear,
This is the first time I come here and I found that I've loved it!
There's lots of words and pictures here and all of them show me the feel of warm and happiness!Just hope to know more of you~Would you?
Brings tears to my eyes, seeing those boys experience the feelings of being loved, welcome, and definitely wanted. Thank you so much for giving them the incredible gift of a family. I will be praying that they continue to enjoy church & church friends, so that they will one day decide to join the family of God!
I like it!
