We decided to drive up to Tehachapi (about an hour away) to play in the snow this afternoon. It was actually a good day to experience snow for the first time for these girls who have always lived near the equator until now. It was about 50 degrees up there today. Sledding was filled with fear and fun - but mostly fun.
Kalysta and Tryana sang songs in Kinyarwanda while we drove back home. It was beautiful! If only we could have understood what they were singing. Our ten phrases or so don't help much in a situation like that.
We continue to enjoy this blog. It is so much fun to follow the girls progress. What wonderful sisters Alyssa and Myranda are! Thanks for taking the time to write this.

How fun!!!!
ReplyDeleteMiss you guys. So glad to see that you all seem to be adjusting well! I admired both of you the whole trip. You are such humble, positive christian people. I have a lot of respect for you!
ReplyDeleteHave you recorded them singing their songs? That way you will always have them and hopefully help the girls to remember them over the years.
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Jamie Soucy. We are right now in the middle of our adoption from Rwanda. Actually we are in Kenya right now with our beautiful 2 year old daughter. I hope you don't mind I ask you a question. We got her tb shot today and need to wait until Wednesday to get the results. Was the first time you went to the Embassy on Thursday? Or did you go ahead of time? We brought our Adam Walsh clearances with us and hopefully we should be fine getting through. I read your blog faithfully as you were adopting and since you have come home. Your girls are so beautiful!!! I'm just wondering as our daughter is already 2 when you first went to the embassy.
Thank you!!!
