I kept waking up last night, looking at the clock each time to see if you'd be with Cole yet :-) What a precious, precious gift! Looking forward to seeing more photos during the week as you get to know each other. Can't wait till Sunday to see you all :-) Carrie

At last! I had a huge smile when that first photo in the car showed up . . . like Kristy said, it's a familiar sight for all of us. :o)

God bless the three of you as you get to know each other!

Congratulations Drinkards! It was such a blessing to wake up this morning and see Cole with his new, forever family! He is precious! Adoption has been one of the greatest earthly and spiritual blessings of our entire life! When I look at Ellie, I am constantly reminded that God has such a wonderful plan for each of us. He has given Cole that future and that hope today! (Jer. 29:11)
