The last 48 hours in the Boone home have been special.
Thursday night...
We decided it was time to share with the boys that sister was coming home. I wish I could of got a picture of each of their faces when we told them. They were so excited that God had finally answered their prayers. (The boys have prayed faithfully for baby sister for months) It was a very special moment. All we could tell them was her age, name and that this next Thursday (28th) we would get her picture and find out when we get to meet her. That was enough information for them.. Gavin thought it was extra special that the meeting is on his birthday. He said that is the best birthday present ever. It was so adorable!
Friday brought a surprise....
The boys were all out of school and Joel was off work. We had 2 extra kids over and we were getting ready for Gavin's 9th birthday party. We were having a fun and busy day. I went up stairs to check my email and there was our Surprise! Joel and I got to see our daughter for the very first time!!! I wanted to cry, I wanted to scream, I wanted the whole world to see her!!! She is absolutely precious!!! We called the boys up to see their sister and smiles filled everyone's face. An unforgettable moment (just like when you see your baby born for the first time)! Unfortunately, we can't post her picture at this time, but if you see us we will have one to show you:). Gavin showed all his friends her picture at his party, Merek tells everyone he talks to how he loves his sister "S" and Eiler calls her "banana". (It's close to her name)
Her picture is framed in our house and we printed copies for all of our family. Needless to say, We are just a tad bit excited!
Thank you for all your prayers and continued prayers as we now look forward to holding our daughter for the first time.
So exciting! Congratulations! Isn't it amazing the love you can have for a child just from a picture. When we saw Averi's picture for the first time I don't think I stopped looking at it for weeks. :)
