Pictures from Monday

Here are the pics from yesterday. Some pics from when we first saw Maria and Andres are not the best although we are grateful for our attorney's offer to take them. My favorite one is the last one.

The moment we've been waiting for.
The moment I will never forget. Isn't this the best picture!!??



Bonding brothers.
On the back to the B&B.

Another heart-warming picture.


Goofing around in our room.

This one says it all! I just love it!

Oh Traci! I am so excited for you guys! Your children...all three...are absolutely adorable, and the pics do say it all! We will continue to pray for you guys as you adjust into 'family' together. Hang in there with Maria. We were told to expect the same thing with Jonatan, that it is very common with children who were close to their foster mothers...that their anger is somehow directed at you because they feel abandoned by their foster Mom. She will come around; it will just take some time. We will be praying for the attachment process with both Maria and Andres...praying also for Luke as this is a huge change in his life as well.

We are going to be here through Saturday now and were wondering if you guys would like to get together Thursday or Friday to do something! Let me know.

Much Love,
Sheila D. (David & Jonatan)

Awww - those are great. Thanks for sharing them! Remember that God is with you, even in the midst of some hard days. He has good plans for you and Maria. :)

What great pictures. I love the one of Luke and Maria. And you're right, you have three beautiful children! I hope that you are all doing well.

You've been on my mind, and today I looked and on the inside of my medicine cabinet it has a sticker that says Jensen like four times (do you own a medicine cabinet business?!) any way it was just another reminder to pray for you, and I will, especially when I open my medicine cabinet!

Can't wait to hear more, I'm sure you're busy. God bless you guys!

Love,
Sherri

Congratulations to the Jensen family of five! Your children are adorable and I can tell Luke is going to be a great "big brother". Hope you don't run out of peanut butter & jelly before you come home. Thanks for sending all this great information.
Kristy and Marc just won "Dancing With the Stars".
