Well, it finally happened! We now have Emma and Elli living with us. We went to Grand Junction this weekend and picked them up. They seem to be doing ok. They have certainly had to deal with a lot in their young lives. They are happy to be here and had their first church experience today.
We had a lot of time spent in the car the last couple of days. We left on Thursday at noon and headed to Richfield and spent the night then we got up early and headed to Grand Junction on Friday, not knowing for sure if we were going to get to bring them home with us, but the judge came through and signed the court order Friday morning. We then headed back to Richfield with the girls and our car loaded to the max. We had some family time with grandma and vicki and cath and kids and spent the night in Richfield. We got up and went to decorate the graves of Gordon (Gary's dad) and Maxine (my mom) and then we went to Michaels and Tonias and spent time with the grandkids ( I got lots of loves). Kaia was not sure about us but she warmed up to us kind of and let me hold her. Michael came home from work and barbecued us hamburgers and hot dogs and then we headed home. Four and a half hours later we finally made it back to Alamo. I am so glad to be home.
We so appreciate all of the help we are getting from the family as far as the girls are concerned. Everyone has stepped up to the plate to help make this as easy as possible for them to make the adjustment. We have the best kids in the world to be so helpful to us.
I will post pictures of them later.

I am so glad you finally got them. I know you will give them the love and stability that they need. If there is anything else we can do, please let us know.
Your family will be a great place for these girls to become a part of. The size of your heart amazes me.
I am sooooo excited for you and for them. They will get a lot of long deserved love. You are awesome.
