Anyway, two years ago Monday - July 27 at 4pm we got the call we had been waiting for. We had three new sons! We had requested 3 children ages 0-7 and had not specified boys or girls, so we didn't know what we would be assigned. I think we were a little surprised and maybe a little disappointed there were no girls, but now we love the fact that they are all boys! Our lives have not been the same since that day. We went from being empty-nesters to parents of a 2, 5 and 8 year old. We have learned that we didn't know as much as we thought we did. They have grown and so have we. We have had so much fun seeing them experience so many things for the first time. It has been a joy at times and really frustrating at time. We are so glad we chose to expand our family.

Wow, two years! Your boys are so cute then and now. Although now they're getting older so they're handsome! I hope you're enjoying your summer. Thanks for always sharing the joys and trials of your journey. Congratulations on two years!
OH boy, have they grown! Fun, fun, fun!
Congratulations on an important anniversary! (We will have our one year "call" anniversary on Saturday). It is amazing how your boys have grown. Maybe we will see if we can work out a break in Indy when we take Brooke to school or coming home. I would so love to meet your family!
What a difference! They have grown so much. I love the original picture of Maicol. Such a cute pose and facial expression!

Thank you for your encouragement and for reading my blog! Your boys are absolutely beautiful. I read your blog this evening with tears streaming down my cheeks as I read about your time in Colombia. I just can hardly contain my anticipation to go and be united with my children. I noticed that you are from Indiana. Where are you from? My husband is from Warsaw, IN, and I lived there for 10 years, from 93-03.
Hi! Your boys are so precious! My husband and I are adopting two brothers from Colombia, age 12 and 8, through CHI. We're trying to find other familes who we can contact with questions. If we could run some questions/concerns we have, we would be so greatful! My email is kaysvideo@fuse.net. Thank you!
