Wow. Came over from RQ the other day and read through your posts. When I read your July 19 post, and this comment you wrote;

Yikes! Never did we expect to be getting two babies so close together. This most certainly was not the plan but it seems that God had a different plan.

I KNEW at that time that you would be getting a referral for twins. I just knew it. God DID plan on you having two babies at once. HE was preparing you for the idea way back then.

Congratulations!!!

Congrats on your daughterS. They are beautiful.You must be over the moon, excited. Kind of makes the 5 year wait go away quickly. Our daughter is 5 and from Xinyu, Jiangxi. We adopted her almost 4 years ago. Hope your wait for travel is quick and can't wait to follow along and see more info on them. Once again, CONGRATS!!!!!!!

God can and does exceedingly above all that we can think or ask...and your news lifted my heart and spirit. Thanks for sharing your news and the photos. I will show my daughter. Her blessing came from Shanghai SWI in 2008. Peace and continued blessings to your new family.

I'm so pleased for you, especially after reading your testimony yesterday, God has really given you an amazing doulble blessing, almost like a reward for your faithfulness after all you have been thru'
Often feel a twinge of envy when I read about twin referrals butnot with you, sounds like you really deserve this!

They are so beautiful - how blessed to get twins!!!! I agree with Grandma Betty - He does do so much more than we can ask or imagine. In 2009, after a very difficult trip to China, I came home with the most perfect 5 1/2 month old anyone could imagine. NEVER would I have even thought to ask God for such a perfect and such a young baby!! But He provided anyway!!! Again, congratulations!!!

Hmmm... I think my comment got eaten. Sorry if this ends up being a double post.

Double congrats on your little blessings.

I just ran outside shouting to my husband about you getting twins! You are in for the ride of a lifetime! I have prayed for you from a distance. Every time you had a failed adoption I lifted you up before the throne... Never has my heart broke more for someone I have never met... I new God had a special plan, it is so cool to see it unfold. I just may show up in Florida to hold these sweet babies. CONGRATULATIONS! Jer 29:11

I don't know if any of you will see this but I wanted to thank each of you for all the amazing comments. I do want to answer each one individually and I will as time allows. Right now, I have got to get on the ball with preparations for the babies!

I have tears streaming down my face as I read your wonderful news. I read your testimony earlier and my heart felt so heavy for all you have been through. Through it all, our good Lord never took his eyes off of you. He has turned ashes into beauty.

My husband and I have been home with our daughter from Hubei since July. She was also 15 months old at the time of referral and 17 months old when we got her. Our transition has gone beautifully. I hope the same for you. Many blessings!

Ponderings that don't deserve a post of their own...

Never before have I been so sweaty, sticky, and stained and cared so little. On a sign in the ladies room at the US Consulate: Help keep our environment clean: Please keep your feet on the floor and not on the toilet seat. What the ...? My new diet and exercise plan - parenting twins. Hong Kong - ultra firm mattress, barely uncomfortable. Nanchang - surprisingly plush mattress, just right.  Guangzhou - what mattress? it really should be called a platform or plank.   Loving the people, marketing and salesmanship skills of the Chinese shop owners. I wonder if they have attended a John Maxwell seminar. He is popular here, you know. One would think that the country that built this thoroughly modern skyscraper , the second largest in the world, could come up with a way of making the tap water potable. Why are there so many Chinese people wandering around the hotel in their robes? Note to self - do not shake a baby bottle filled with very hot formula. Question:...

I really thought I would have time to blog everyday on this "once in a life time trip" but in reality, yesterday I did not even have time to brush my hair and I have yet to wash it since getting the twins on Sunday. So as I sit here on Tuesday evening I want to remember and record all that has transpired since the girls were first placed in our arms but I am sitting in a dark hotel since Abbi and Livi are asleep in their cribs just 10 feet away.  The near darkness make me want to crawl under the covers and fade into dream land. So, the remedy is going to be a bulleted list which I will try to expand on later. "Try" is the operative word here. Gotcha Day was traumatic for the girls but they soon calmed down and just eyed us with suspicion for the evening. Prior to getting the girls there was a two hour meeting to discuss feeding and caring for the babies and the itinerary. Monday was paperwork day. The first office was where the adoption became official. ...
