This is the day that the Lord has made, WE REJOICE!

Lily, Louis, and Stevenson (another boy being adopted by friends in St. Louis:) - HI Sally and George!

Thank you for all of your prayers for this special day! Lily is feeling much better. Everything about our day has far exceeded any of our expectations! The boys are wonderful. Silas is his funny self - very entertaining. Smiling and cuddling - I just rocked him to sleep:) With lily humming to him in the background. Louis is such a fabulous young man. He is so kind and considerate. He is already making a great big brother. He and Lily swam and played all day. Louis and Noel threw a ball back and forth no less than 500 times, I think. One of the highlights was when the ball was in the pool and he wanted me to get it for him - he was standing on the side of the pool saying, "Mom....Mom." WOW - I didn't realize how that would feel.
God has been SO GOOD to us to allow us to be parents to these boys. I simply cannot wait to introduce you to Silas. I will post more tomorrow - hopefully with that full family picture. I didn't take many photos today - just taking it all in.
It was good.
It was GREAT!
So thankful...
lori - for all of us.

Silas at the pool...more pics tomorrow!
