HERE THEY ARE!

**3/9/10 -just edited the photo so you can see the smile that captured my heart 4 months ago..i'll have to find a photo of Bruk for me to crop so you can see his precious smile too : ) **



we just received a call from our agency...the adoption has been completely finalized, the boys are legally ours, and she said to "feel free" to post their pic....so I am. :)

here are our handsome boys!!

Eyob is the older one and Bruk is the younger.

Our YWAM director is in Ethiopia right now and will be getting their sizes for us (over the summer Eyob was only 3 inches shorter than me!!) and asking them about their names. If they'd like to keep their Ethiopian names, that is fine with us...if they'd like to have Amercian names, we can do that too. :) Being that they are older, we want them to have a part in that decision.

but for now, they are Eyob and Bruk to us!

Gosh. Even though I have seen your handsome boys before, I am sitting here boo hooing. That they are YOURS. For all the world to see. I just got off of the other Jeanette's blog and was boo hooing over SB, and now your boys. Geesh. What an afternoon!

Oh Jeanette, the tears are flowing! Your boys! I can hardly believe it. And good grief, they are so handsome!!!! I know you can't wait to get your arms around them. I wish I lived closer so I could do the same. I'm so happy for y'all!

Congratulations!

I have been following along on this new journey...though haven't commented yet. But i just had to comment now!! They are PRECIOUS.

Can't wait to see them in y'alls family pictures!!

After my time in Uganda with the older boys we worked with...I grew to LOVE those boys. They try so hard to be tough, and have the tough exterior....but underneath! They have soft beautiful hearts!

Congrats, congrats, congrats!!
