     A woman and man welcome two boys from China. This is their story.

We are so blessed.

We have added to the family: two lovely little boys, ages 3 and 7.  Their names are Kendrick (Kenny) David and Kasen Dominic.  They are absolutely beautiful!

We picked them up at the airport back in July; since then they've brought our family nothing but joy and happiness.  They're still a little shy around strangers, but as they learn more in the way of English, they are both opening up.  They are both incredibly smart.

Their big sisters, Charlie (charline) and Addisyn (ages 9 and 13) are nuts about their new brothers.  They love helping them or playing with them; they get along quite well with each other, which is pleasing to both my husband (Scotty) and myself (Rita).

This Christmas is going to be one to remember.  The boys have already seen Santa (but not without a few tears on Kendrick's part; oh, how he bawled! LOL) and are trying to be good (and to understand the new American customs behind Christmas and what they mean).  They will be performing tomorrow night at church; they are in a Christmas program the children of the church are putting on.  I pray and hope they do well when they sing!

There's one thing that'll be certain: their Daddy and myself will be taking lots of pictures and putting them later on Facebook to show all of our friends and family!

I am so glad the waiting period (not to mention all the home studies, background checks, medical appointments, etc.) are behind us; now it's time for us to enjoy the fruits of our labor and to give thanksgiving to God for bringing us these two angels to us from China!
