I'm still in shock seeing pictures! Yes, there was definitely a plan for you though a few years ago, I would have never thought it. This is such a wonderful ending. I am sooverjoyed for your entire family. How wonderful to have the older kids willing to help (okay..for now--LOL). They look like they are right at home w/ the older siblings. Congrats to all.
Best wishes,

Awesome photos! I love seeing your older kids with the little girls. I bet you are really busy, but it's a good busy.
The first couple months will be a whirlwind until you get in your new groove.....and it will happen. I thought it never would, but it does. Enjoy! And hang in there.

I love the pics of the older siblings! What a big help they will be to you in the next few months as things settle in. You will be surprised at how much faster the girls learn English (albeit some "teen" English, LOL) because they have the older siblings. What a great experience for them to be able to share with you!
