We are all doing great! The girls slept in their cribs for the first time last night. They are used to sleeping on the floor with their foster mother so we slept with them this way for the first two nights we had them. Last night, they cried for about 25 minutes as we watched them from our video/audio monitor. We felt really, really bad but we wanted them to get used to sleeping in their cribs as soon as possible. We pulled the cribs close together so that they could see and touch each other. This morning, they woke up happy and playful. We woke them up after sleeping 8 hours because we want them to start adjusting to our schedule. Tonight, we had them sleeping in their cribs by 8:30. Let's just hope they don't think this is a nap! Here's a very cute picture of today's carry-over afternoon nap. We keep saying how blessed we are because all in all, the girls have been wonderful and they are really adjusting well and bonding to us. Despite all of the traumatic changes in their lives, they are little troopers and very resilient little girls. We took our first trip to the Wal Mart Superstore today as a family because that's where we could get most of the things we needed, all in one place. They were very good and curious all around the store in their stroller. The only thing is, it did take us a little while longer than expected because the girls had so many admirers that wanted to look at them and stop to ask about them :)

Your photo reminds me of how God wants to gather his children as a hen gathers it's chicks under it's wings.
Your girls are lovely. Thank you for putting the pictures up. I am so enjoying seeing them still.
