Hannah is two today! She is enjoying her new play kitchen by bringing us various concoctions. We love this little girl and are so glad we get to be the people to cheer her on for many, many more years!

Two More
My wonderful sister-in-law photographer did both these photos. If you live in the Kansas City area, you should look her up!
It's Naptime
So I haven't posted here for awhile. I could say I've been too busy (which I have), or I could say I've been too tired (which I have). But I think the real reason I haven't posted is because I don't like to complain, and more than that, I don't like to lie. And really, shouldn't it be about time for me to say our family is "back to normal" or "adjusting well" while posting some gorgeous photos of our kids? The pressure of that has been just enough to keep me quiet.
But, it's naptime. And I'm not quite so tired. And I have folded every stitch of clean laundry (when was the last time that happened?). And I think I'm ready to investigate some of the feelings I've had in the last eight weeks.
Bringing Caleb and Hannah into our family is the hardest thing we have ever done. Loving someone who doesn't really know how to be loved is exhausting. Officiating the arguments (many of which I can't understand) and the fights makes me feel like an NBA referee in the 7th game of the playoffs who is also trying to do laundry and fix meals center court. I am holding onto God's promises that He will be faithful to give me EVERYTHING I need to do the things He asks me to do. He has been faithful in the past, and the best predictor of a person's future behavior is their past behavior. He will continue to be faithful!
A few pics of what we've been up to this winter:
