sisters... and friends

Soon I will type up a post on Lilah's time in China, her birth country. And the wonderful time we enjoyed in the two and a half weeks we spent there. But for now, let me leave you with these photos, that I took yesterday... she and her new little sister at the park.

Their relationship is such a beautiful love story.

There are many reasons we went back to China to get another little one, but one of the main reasons was very much for Lilah. We never wanted her to be an only child. We wanted her to have the company of a sibling. And we knew when we started this process, to adopt another child, that it could have went either way, they could have loved each other, or not so much! Well the Lord is overall and He definitely hand picked Phebe to be Lilah's little sister. These girls have a beautful relationship already. They get to be sisters and all being well, a lifetime of forever friends.

We feel so thankful and blessed that our girls already have an incredible bond. Thank you Lord for these two blessings and the love they share.

Before I took these pictures Phebe had just sat on the tire, then she shifted over and patted
the area beside her for Lilah to sit down. Lilah tried to squash her butt down beside her,
but realized there wasn't enough room. She then proceeded to pick Phebe up, set her on her
knee and then swayed her back and forth, much to Phebe's amusement!

I love them both so much.
