Together at Last!!!!!!!!
















After what seems like forever our family is together at last! I can't even explain what a wonderful feeling it is. Anne Pearce remembered her daddy instantly, and she is already in love with her brothers. God has completed our family, and for the first time in so long my heart is at peace. As you can see from the pics I was very emotional. I am go glad that Nat was there to experience this moment with us! We will post more later..... GOD IS SO GOOD!

I've been stalking since I got home from church. I was sobbing as soon as I saw the first pics. Tell Logan and Hayden I'm so glad to see them with their baby sister at last, and I know Andrew is overwhelmed to finally be with both of you. Congratulations, now bring that family home!

How great to see all 5 of you together at last! Praise God! I also want you to know that my Jamey had surgery yesterday and did great! Also, I'm going to give you about a week before I call, because I know your head will be, as it should be, still in the clouds! But I need your legal advice regarding the other thing we share besides adoption (pretty serious).

I really do rejoice to see all 5 of you together, with your beautiful boys (everybody always thought they were too "pretty" as babies to be boys, but now they are simply very handsome young men). I know they'll be great big brothers to beautiful little Anne Pearce, just as you and Drew will be great parents to her. God has truly blessed you, my dear friend, and I'm so glad! I love you!
