It is so incredibly hard to believe that these are our girls!! One year ago, when I came home from my first Rambling Road Trip I told my friend Denise that our life was finally going to settle down. No more moving and building a new house - we were settled and there was no reason to move for a very long time, and no more babies!! We could start to do all the things I hadn't been able to do for a long time.
How bizarre to think that here we are a mere year later, with two *daughters* - really truly ours - waiting for us in Africa. Little girls that know that *they* are ones that have a new family - that soon it will be their turn to have a mummy and daddy walk through the doors with tentative smiles and very full hearts.
There are no words to describe the feeling in my heart. If I had not listened to that "still small voice" that began this unbelievable, impossible blessing, we would not be here today. I am so thankful that my husband trusted and moved on that little voice.
It is interesting how you come to feel you 'know' your children through photos. Mesai seems so sweet and aware of life around her. Gadisae has an adorable, cuddly, love of life look to her. But maybe, when they come home we will find they are very different to what I have 'seen' in the pictures.
