Every once in a while I look back at the pictures we received just after we learned of Eden and Caleb as a reminder of how far they’ve come.
Here’s from early April. At Sele Enat orphanage.
And today. On our back deck.

Beautiful pic!
God’s redeeming love.
That brought tears to my eyes!!!
Wow Sara. Just wow. They are almost unrecognizable!
look at the light in their eyes and the smiles on their faces now. praise the Lord for his redeeming love.
That’s amazing! They are so beautiful! Squeeze them for me!!
Sara, I came across your blog I guess a couple years ago now? I knew of Nate through friends of friends at UVA. Your words, and your journey, have continually brought tears to my eyes and goosebumps on my arms as I read about the incredible journey you have been on to find your children. Really the difference between these two pictures sums it up perfectly. What a stunning family the Lord has created for you all…his mercies, to all of us and as demonstrated by your story, are staggering!
I continue to read about of the redemption of these children with great joy.
Blessings to the four of you as you continue to learn and love!
