We're Home!

Snoozing on the flight home
SISTERS!
Oatmeal Monster (as Grace calls her)
Swimming together
Friends forever!


We've been home now for 3 weeks and things are going good. Mollie is adjusting very well to her new life. She loves her brothers and sisters. Her and Grace are on their way to becoming great friends! Grace is a wonderful big sister. She is learning how to share everything (especially Mommy and Daddy!) Overall, both girls are adjusting well considering all the changes that have taken place. Emily, of course, LOVES having another little sister and Mollie absolutely loves Emily. She has been a big help! Emily helped out so much with the girls the first week when we were getting over the jet lag and trying to catch up on sleep. Mollie took a day or two to warm up to her big brothers, Andrew and Nathan, but she is in love with them now. They give her so much attention and would do just about anything for her!

Mollie has already seen the pediatrician twice. All of her lab work came back normal. She had to get a few (6 to be exact) immunizations to get her caught up on her shots. We saw the cardiologist last week. He did an EKG and an ultrasound. He said everything looked great. No need for anymore surgery. She has a slight heart murmur, but nothing to worry about. We were very relieved!

She is a very healthy, happy little girl! She laughs and giggles all the time. We are having so much fun with her. She is learning so many new things everyday. It's so exciting seeing her blossom. She loves the water (bath and pool)! She is an amazing little girl! She has the cutest little sense of humor. She loves to give hugs and kisses. We feel very blessed that she is a part of our family. Our lives are a lot busier now, but we are loving every minute of it! I look at her sometimes and can't believe that God has entrusted us with another one of His precious little creations.

Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! ~ 2 Corinthians 9:15
