Here are two very short videos of our angels. I know my family at home are longing to see Hailee and Harper in videos, so I thought I'd post them here.
Harper definitely has a thing for shoes. As far as she's concerned, they're there for the eating. Actually, I think this is the first time she ever had shoes on her little feet, she was not sure what to make of them. Give her a few days in our home and she will learn very quickly that shoes are meant to be OFF.

Sweet and precious, teeny, tiny, Hailee. Oh this sweet love. I think she's getting it! She's starting to undertsand that I am a good thing in her life--she is even starting to reach out to me now. Hallelujah!

How exceedingly blessed we are. There truly are no words to describe how full to overflowing our hearts are with gratitude.
To think that God chose us to be their parents. Oh my goodness, it leaves me speechless. Such a gift.
I'll update you tomorrow on what's happening here in the Ukriane. Love and biggest hugs to all of you.

Could they be any more adorable?
Oh how I long to see them with you and out of that institution! Did you bring pink clothes for your girlies? :)
I'm sure you did!
Precious! And wow oh wow is Harper flexible!!! I couldn't lick the bottom of my shoe if I WANTED to! :)
I am praying for PEACE that surpasses all understanding. I believe you know now what to do and I'm praying that God will give you the strength and peace to stand firm in your decision!
He who has called you is FAITHFUL my friend. HE is going to do this!
Love,
Holly
It is SO amazing that technology allows us to 'almost' be there with you and Hailee and Harper! Oh, how I want to squeeze and kiss them, Adeye. It is unfathomable that Hailee is almost 5 years old. So tiny and baby-like, so angelic. And little Harper is such a busy bee, isn't she? What a sweet dolly! Thank you so much for these videos. I am praying fervently for you as you hear the Lord's voice for every step. Missing you!!! We are enjoying lovely weather... hope you are, as well.
LOL... first off,you know we will all comment on your "accent". You are so cute. :)
Secondly, did I say the girls were cute? That is not true... they are totally ADORABLY CUTE! :)
Oh how Hailee makes me miss my Yana girl! Bless you little Hailee!
Harper... have you met Yana? ... you have the licking thing in common I see. LOL
They are beautiful. I know why your heart is overflowing! I can't believe Hailee is actually 5... my heart is sad at how much she has lost!
I have been following your blog and it is beautiful. I am so happy for you, your family and especially these little girls. So heart warming, I love the video.
I live in WP and went to the fund raiser last summer for Hailee. My son was born with DS a year ago, so you have touched my heart.
OMG---using Webtv I was not able to see this but I'm sure that it was an awesome experience and these two sweeties could steal anyone's heart. If I were young I would be so proud to be able to give them a wonderful home like they are going home to. I wait every day just for your pic's and info and hope things will fall in place for you and your family. God Bless, Jann
Absolutely precious, God bless them.
I don't even know how I found your blog, but I am sure glad I did. Those are two little angels for sure. I look forward to them getting "home" and really coming out of their shell. They are beautiful little girls and I thank you for sharing your journey. God Bless.
Too Cute!!!!!! Love it. So precious. God bless, Tamara
Oh wow! These videos make the girls soooo real for those of us "out here"! They are adorable and so sweet.
While most of us wouldn't eat them, shoes are a "girl" thing :) My daughter used to pull them off our feet and crawl around with them on her hands!
I am still asking the Lord to waiver the 10 day waiting period...He is the God of the impossible. However, as you said yesterday, He has everything in hand.
Been following your blog for a bit, as well as sme others' from Reece's Rainbow. I check in daily to see what happens next! God Bless those little angels... all I can say about that video is WOW. Too precious for words... God Bless You and those little babies of yours. I pray for ALL of them daily...
Oh my Adeye - no words to describe - they are both so adorable, abd Harper with those shoes - love it :) LOV
Those babies are just beautiful, and you are soooo lucky to have found them! Ooooh, I could just eat them up! :)
Oh Adeye, how precious! I'm guessing in a very short time Miss Hailee will no longer be rocking because she will know the love and security she has desperately needed!
Your babies are beautiful! I loved the videos. be blessed
Sweet angels...
How awesome to get to "see" them. They are so adorable. What a flexible little Harper.
And Hailee must be getting stronger everyday with your mother love!!
loves friend,
Oh. My. Goodness! I'm going to beat a path up to VA to get my hands on those 2 once you're there! They are too cute and huggable! Let me at 'em!
Thanks for figuring out the video thing for your blog--it was pure joy watching your girls in "action".
Love ya,
Kristin
I just read what Anthony wrote...wow...that was wonderful and so true. God will provide!!
Oh, my goodness...your girls just make me smile from ear to ear....soooo precious! Harper, sweet baby, those shoes will be off in no time once you hit US soil! Hailee...you won't have to rock yourself anymore...you have such a big, sweet family, they'll be lovin' on you forever!!
Thank you for posting the videos, so glad that they are starting to respond and recognize you as mommy. I can't wait to see them blossom once they are home. People are realizing that special needs orphans are treasures from God. I am so thankful for Reeces Rainbow for finding your girls and finding our Sneha.

They are so precious!
Oh WOW WOW WOW!!! SOOO great to SEE them in sweet action!!! What sizes are they wearing, Adeye? They look almost identical in size. So sweet of Anthony to comment!!! Cannot wait for him to see his 3 girls again!
oh good golly they are precious!
Adeye,
This may be way out there! I certainly hope it is not offensive. And I mean this in the most respectful way. But I am wondering...
Do you ever get to see the babies undressed? Do you diaper them during your time with them? As a mom, I would have this nagging question in the back of my mind about the reason for Hailee always being dressed as a boy. I mean with her hair cut short (and I realize they do this usually for all the children) and dressed in blue, I would wonder if maybe the child I thought was a girl was, in fact, a boy.
Dear me, I hope that is not too personal to ask. I am just thinking with the mindset of what it would be like to be there myself.
On another note, the videos are precious. I watched them with my 3 yr old that also has DS. She LOVES "babies." :) When we were done she asked for more!
So sweet to have this record of their time there.
Adeye--
You are indeed blessed- What beautiful girls you have. I cannot wait to see them in a month or two after some serious love and family time! It will be an amazing transition.
I continue to pray for you and check your blog daily...
Much love- kelly Rumbaugh

WE are the blessed ones! Thank you for sharing your treasures with us!!!
SO blessed to know you and to see your daughters!
Love you!
Those two girls are absolute beauties. Hailee seems to be quite active and Harper makes me crakc up by trying to eta her shoes off, she is certainetly not the first kid to despise shoes ;) Thank you so much for positng those wonderful videos.
They are so beautiful.. thank you so much for sharing them with us!
they're are beautiful. I love your story so much!
Oh Adeye...they are utterly precious. So fun to see them on video and to hear your ultra cool Down Under accent. :) I am glued to your blog!
Oh my Adeye!! They are just beautiful!! You are right! You are truly blessed:)
Adorable, beautiful and precious!! Thank you so much for sharing the videos! What a day brightener!
It was so great to hear your voice- you are as cute as can be BUT next time you need to say Harper's name! I think I will roll on the floor giggling!! I can just imagine it, with that cute little accent you have!!
Praying for your big decision- oh my- only God can direct you!
Love you dear friend! Blessings on your journey!
Jean
thanks for sharing the girls they are so precious.
I wonder right from the start if they dress Hailee as a boy and since you post she is in a differant room, if they have left her just because none of them bonded with her? for what ever reason that I cant get my head around. just a nagging feeling I have that Favourites are played over there.
Also I have never seen a child poke out their tongue quite like that.
Do you think that this is from neglect, like a way of self stimulating…
love and hugs Cathy and Aden
Oh my word!! BLESS THEM ! They are so beautiful. the blue is gettin old though :( dress her like a little girl :) cracks me up, maybe they dont think you will notice lol. they are both so beautiful :)
Hi my friend - how lovely the 2 of them are. They seem really content. Nice to see Hailee sitting. Thanks for showing us the video clips. Praying the process speeds up for you. Enjoy your time with your 2 beautiful girls. xxx

My heart is hot with joy and my skin cold with chills seeing and reading about the complete BLESSINGS of these angelic children! Prayers of support, love, joy, EAZE, and rich experiences are yours, dear girl! Bless you in your wonderful "birthing" time! I can't WAIT to read MORE!!!

Adeye,
I am so sorry I've duplicated on here. I'm new at this. Please delete the dumb ones. Thanks! Heather :)
BTW, praying for all His sustenance for ALL your needs! (including that for wonderful, YUMMY FRUITS & VEGETABLES!!! ;)
Thank you for sharing the videos with us.
Your daughters are very precious :)
Michelle
Oh my....I just want to squeeze them. They are too cute!
I woke up thinking about you and the girls this morning and I believe God gave me this thought. Maybe the delay in getting them home is so they will not have to live in Woodland Park for long because maybe they, especially Hailee, might not survive the high altitude that long. God is sooooooooo good and has you and the girl's best interest at heart. He will guide you and protect all of you! Love you!!!
Aaaaaaaaaah, they are so sweet!! Wish I could give them a big hug!!! I can imagine that you are completely head over heals in love with these to angels.
Love,
Annerieke
Oh my,
Soooo precious. I am so glad for you that you can be with them and have this precious time. Thank you for sharing these moments.
Marie-Claude
Oh so sweet! Thank you for sharing these videos! It is so great to see them!
beautiful!!!! so happy to see things going so well.
They are so cute! That Harper :) And Miss Hailee - I get so angry to think at how she has been neglected, it is so sad and so UNnecessary. So thankful that she has a family to love her and that God's Word tells us that he will repay us for the years the locusts have stolen. Praise you Jesus!
Oh how I have missed your sweet voice with that accent! What a treat to hear you and see the precious angels! Thanks so much for posting this! Praying for you, the girls, hubby and the kiddos at home! Much love, Anne
Hi friendy - those clips are absolutely precious! We finally get to glimpse your princesses in action. Touched my heart so much. Drum and Lin were over for tea so I got to brag about your treasure girls and show them. Touched all our hearts so deeply seeing these sweet girls and knowing mommy is finally with them. Thinking about you so much my friend and sending you all of my love.
Love Jan
Oh wow! I just loved seeing those precious girls in motion. How absolutely adorable and precious they are!!! I loved hearing your voice too! :)
Adeye I had missed this post as we were in SA most of April....what sweet blessings you have found hidden away like hidden treasure!!!!!!! xoxoxoxoxo
