July 6, 2013. 11 Months

I know, I'm 4 days late journaling about the girls 11 months with us.  Honestly this summer has been busy and I just don't have time to blog.

But this month on their Gotcha Day anniversary we were actually in the Caribbean.  We took a 3 night Disney Cruise as a family.  I LOVE the Disney Cruise.  The kids had a blast.  We had some good family moments, and some stressful family moments.  Lets just say, being confined on a boat with 6 kids is challenging.  :-)

I look at the girls and think 11 months ago they were living in China, in what they thought was a good place.  And now, they are in the Caribbean playing in the ocean at Disney's private island.  Can't get much better than that.

Here is a photo from the 6th.  We are scheduling our 1 year post placement already.  Time flies!  Praying that this next year will get even better, that our family will feel more normal and not as stressed out. That the girls will continue to learn what it means to be apart of a family.  There are days when it's hard.  Old habits come back and it's stressful.  We're just praying through those moments.

Thanks for following along.
