Hi everyone, I mostly lurk here. I enjoy following the conversations and I read many of your blogs. That doesn't leave any time for posting and blogging myself! So I thought I'd share with you here some pictures of the twin boys we are adopting from Liberia. They are Leon and Aliou Vahn and they are approx. 3yo. We hope to have my husband pick them up in Liberia by summer. We are very excited! Several of you bought books from me and even made donations in my fundraising efforts last summer so I wanted to share this happy news with you. We just recieved our referral last month.

A belated thank you for your support here everyone! We just recieved a new picture of the boys (with "Merry Christmas Mom and Dad" in the subject line! ) If you click on the link above again you'll see them in little matching outfits. We think they are so darling! (unabashed bragging!  ) The are in a size 18mos clothes and are supposedly turning 4 next month..... Either the age is off or we can expect a huge growth spurt once they get home and get excellent nutrition.
Anyway thanks again for sharing our excitement!
