I can not believe that the girls have already been here for a week. Having 4 kids has been really busy but oh how we love them.
Having younger kids in the house has really kept us busy and I told Steve they will help to keep us young!
It still does not seem real, that they are here, even though we waited 18 months for this to happen, we knew we were going to wait a least 12 or 18 more to get them home.
God is good! We are so blessed to be able to have them home with us already.
We had Widelene's doctor appointment today, and I felt really bad as she got 4 shots in her legs, a TB test done on her arm and blood drawn from her arm too. She did not try to get away or kick but she cried really hard.
She weighed 34 1/2 and was 40 inches tall.
Tomorrow we take Widline in for her appointment and go through this all over again.
I talked to our adoption social worker yesterday and let her know our concerns about the girls names. We love them and think they are beautiful but it is so confusing for everyone else.
So she agreed that it would be OK to change their names. She said to introduce their new name with the name now as a middle name and say them together. Then later drop of their name now and just start calling them by the new name. So we started doing this and the girls are already picking up on the new name.
Widline (7) we are calling her Widline Macy so then later she can go by Macy
Widelene(4) we are calling her Widelene Mylee so then later she can go by Mylee.
As you see it has been busy and we have already visited school too.
Here are some pictures of our trip to get the girls and some from here.
