For those who don't know, my brother and sister-in-law adopted two boys from Ethiopia last year. Well, something they do is celebrate what they call "Family Day". By definition this is the day they became a family...in their case, the day they picked up the boys from the orphanage. Ever since all this happened (and it finally looked like we were going to bring Emily home someday), M and I have said that we were going to do the same thing. The day Emily comes home and we finally complete our family, we are going to have a huge celebration and every year, we are going to rejoice with God for his mercy and grace.
Anyway, that's not even the coolest part. IF she comes home tomorrow, our family day will be on the EXACT same day as my brother and sister-in-law's family day!! How cool is that? One year ago, they got their boys and one year later, we could get our girls. Even better? If it is Thursday, that will be their oldest son's birthday. What a great day of celebration! One thing is for sure...I'm not great at remembering birthdays, but I will always remember his! I guess it's a win-win.
The life and adventures of two former MK's...and their new additions. Our first daughter was born full-term on Jan 19, 2009 and 10 short months later, our micro-preemie was born Nov 6, 2009 at 24w3d and 1 pound 6 ounces. Read her story and our journey below.
