January 31, 2008. The day we met our daughters.
Here's another excerpt from my journal:
Today we met our 2 little girls. Oh girls, you are so amazing!
Sasha (Lexi), you are such a tiny little thing! The same blond hair as your brother and sister. Stuffy nose, all sniffles today. Big blue eyes. You wore a white dress and a big red bow on top of your head. You are a quiet little girl so far. You haven't had much to say yet, but you sat in my lap and played with some toys. You've been a little nervous about your daddy, but just you wait little girl. He is going to be your best friend very soon. We can't wait to be with you for keeps.
Liza (Natalie), another beautiful, special little girl. Big blue eyes. Long dark blond hair. You came into the room ready to play. You wore a purple shirt and jean jumper with a humongous purple bow in your hair! Such a good big sister. Ready to help Sasha and the other children. Unlike your sister, you had a lot to say! Chatting away from the moment we met you. Naming pictures in books and reciting rhymes. You are so smart and outgoing.
Our daughters. We love you already. We just wanted to scoop you up and bring you home today! Why, oh why, must it take so long?! It was such a special day. We will always treasure this day we first met you. Girls, may you always know that you are God's perfect creation.
Here are a few pictures of our first visit with Lexi and Natalie:

WOW! 2 years...I remember when you were there. I remember praying for you like crazy and stalking this blog to hear news of your meeting these three precious treasures. I remember crying as I read of your meetings, of calling them your children. Thank you for the reminder of these MIRACLES.
PS--these bows put the Texans to SHAME :)
I love reading about the adventures of the Mocabee Family. You're all amazing!!!
I can't believe it's been two years already! Their little faces remind me of how little they were. They have changed so much! Thanks for posting those memories!
Beautiful!!
