the BEST couple of days...

This week, Adam and I were blessed to be a host family again for two adorable little girl from Children of the World.

Three days of adorableness with... 



These girls brought so much joy to our lives even for only spending three days together. We painted...


Made funny videos and photos on photobooth.  I could listen to them giggle all stinking day!!



We sang and danced, and we watched Barbie movies like they were going out of style.

On Wednesday night, they performed at our church and I literally cried throughout the entire performance.  Little children singing about the love of God is amazing :)



The performance touched us in so many ways...we left that night vowing never to buy bottled water again, we left becoming sponsors of two children (a little boy from Nepal and a little girl from Honduras), and we left with an even bigger confirmation that international adoption is the way to go for us.
World Help is such a great organization with a ton of options to help out all over the world!! You should check them out :)
These last three days were life changing in the best possible way.
I can NOT wait to be a parent!!!
eeeeek!
