Official Update!

What a whirlwind of emotions these last few months have been. I have a moment right now to catch up while the girls are playing. Yes I said girls. They have been in our home legally for about 3 weeks now. We started visitation rights in January..which was very hard because we attached so fast. We finally told our attorney that we couldn't take them back because it was getting too hard for them and us. So many tears and the girls were getting confused. After 31/2 months of waiting this out we now have a court date. April 27 we will drive down to Indiana to make our adoption of Mabrae and Mekdez official. I can't wait to post pics of them...they are so stinken cute. Thank you for your prayers during this transition in our lives. I have to admit it hasn't been easy, but it's been wonderful. Please continue to pray as we are working through attachment issues with the youngest (Mekdez). She still calls everyone Mom and Dad and will go to anyone. She has no fear. I look forward to the day when someone asks to hold her and she refuses. They are sleeping really well and both take naps during the day...which I love because it allows me some time to myself. The language is coming along and we've noticed just in the last couple of weeks that they are both talking so well. I keep reminding them on a daily basis that we are their forever family and that we love them very much. Mabrae is our light...she is always singing and laughing and she has a very tender heart. Mekdez (Dezi) is our joy...her giggles stop me right in my tracks and she is very compassionate. Thanks for understanding my lack of postings...it's been a little crazy in the Simcox home. All we can say is Thank you God for showing favor on us. We are so humbled and grateful. We give him all the glory and honor for the blessings He has bestowed on our lives.
