I'm so happy for you guys! What a blessing! Matt, I ran into your parents last week and they were just glowing with excitement over these two little additions :) God bless!
It looks like you all are doing a great job adjusting to your growing family. I've been blessed by your stories and updates over the past few months. It is encouraging to know of people who are opening their hearts and homes to the orphans of this world.
