Who, once upon a time, hated the bath.
How things have changed.
These days, we cannot get them out.
Bath time is so much fun.
Can’t you tell?
Oh, the joy they bring us.
There truly are no words to describe it. Right, Einstein?
They make me smile from ear to ear.
Aren’t they just completely edible?
God knew, before the beginning of time, that these two needed to be together. He knew that they would need each other. Every day we’re seeing that more and more. Watching their relationship blossom is a beautiful thing.
I appreciate your help so much, and I know they do too.
Yikes, I almost forgot to tell you. Hailee’s eye surgery went fabulously well. If it was successful (60% chance), we should start seeing a difference pretty soon. If not, she will have to have surgery again. Obviously we’re praying it worked. If it did, it will change her life. No more strabismus.
Oh, that’s right, they only had two dresses-one to wash and one to wear. How times have changed. We have way too much stuff!
What precious photos! They just crack me up, and to think they hated the water a few months ago. I’m so glad to see Hailee’s hair growing…but, ummm…mom…an Einstein do? So funny!!
Joy and Joyous…those two little girls are peas in a pod!
What fun pictures of the bathing beauties. I love to see my kids in any body of water and remember back to those first screaming baths when they feared the water.
Yes these two little girls needed each other! How funny how God continued to work in your hearts for Harper! Hope everything went well with the eye surgery. Also please let me know if you need help with Celiac (gluten) I have it and it is easy to adapt and the family all eats healthier! It will all work out fine! Thank you for always sharing!
Absolutely Adorable!
It is so amazing to realize that these are the same girls we saw pictures of just 5 months ago. They didn’t have a spark in their eyes … they didn’t have a giggle on their lips … they didn’t have any idea of what it meant to love and be loved.
God has done an AMAZING work in the lives of these little ones. I’m sure that their testimony has touched more lives than you can even imagine.
Thank you … for hearing and obeying, when the Lord told you to bring these little ones home. And, thank you for sharing your story / their story through your blog. It has touched my life, and the lives of many of my Big Kids who also read your blog.
Be BLESSED! (and don’t have too much fun cleaning house this weekend.)
OH MY WORD!!!!!!!!!!!
Love every single photo and joyful smiles!
I love you so!!!!
Praising God for the successful eye surgery!
Hugs,
Jill
AWARD WINNING, but I guess you already go the prize :o)
I have been reading your blog for awhile now, when I get a spare moment.
I have been blessed BEYOND words…obviously, since this is my first comment. I have laughed and cried and your posts have often driven me to pray and seek even more His will for our lives. Thank you for sharing your story and life-
just had to comment on this post! Such GLEE on the girls’ faces..made me laugh out loud to see such delight. They are absolutely beautiful! Have a great day. Darci
Oh my they are SO beautiful! SOoooo cute! And obviously enjoying that bath!!! LOVE it!
And how exciting to hear of other families working to bring little ones home. God is working for sure!
Adeye,
Those photos are just the living end!!! You need to blow them up, frame them and hang them in the bathroom:) Is there a word beyond adorable???
See you next week!

Such cute bath pics! You would never know by their smiles that not too long ago they were all alone without hope. They look like such dolls!

Oh Adeye! I was reading your post and scrolling down and the pictures were so cute and then I got to the second picture of Hailee and broke into a huge grin!!! I hope when Autumn heads to Ukraine to pick up Yuri and Bohdi, she can take that picture with her because those orphanage workers would be STUNNED.
What cute pictures and I agree God’s plan did include these two being together.
Those pictures made me tear up! Pregnancy hormones? Maybe. Realizing the tremendous change in those pretty little girls? Most definitely! It continually amazes me what the Lord does with LOVE for these precious little ones that He sends His people to bring home and love. Thank you for sharing your girls with us blogger people!
They are SO CUTE
Those bathtime babes are too precious for words! God sure knows what he is doing! UGH on the closets. I need to do the same…
I’m been following your blog for a while… don’t usually comment, just a lurker. But, you’re daughters’ story, your story, the story of your family… has blessed me in so many ways.
Those two girls are precious, just beautiful beyond words. I remember seeing their faces back six months ago and I’m not sure I would have believed how far they would come so quickly. God is simply amazing!
Thank you for sharing… God Bless.
Love, love, love the facial expressions! What precious girls!
Their smiles make me smile! Too cute!
Lovely pics, lovely daughters! Thank you for allowing us to share the fun… Hugs, Lola :0)
ADORABLE!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness! Could they be any cuter?! These pictures of Hailee and Harper are adorable and it’s amazing to see how much they have changed since they’ve been home with your family. They are just full of JOY!
Blessings,
Barbara
Oh my Adeye!! Those precious girls of yours make me smile from ear to ear! The thought that they could have stayed in their hell on earth, is just too much to bear! How they have grown and thrived and blossomed with your love! How great is our God!!!
I love how God brought these two home together. What a blessing they are to you and all of us who follow!!! The transformation in these bathing beauties is pure testimony to our Father’s love!!!!
What a wonderful Maker!!!
Adeye, I found your blog from a link on Sandi’s blog. You have blessed my heart tremendously. I love seeing the joy you and your family have together. I need to take some more time and read your adoption stories. We adopted two teenage girls from Ukraine last year, and though it has been a difficult transition, the Lord has been faithful!
Blessings to you from Colorado,
Debbie
They are too cute! Can you post video clips of them? I would love to hear their laughter!
