Oklahoma Part III

On Saturday morning we went to the hospital for the last time.  We presented Ethan and Margie with gifts that we had brought with us.  Our adoption worker read a few scriptures and led us all in prayer.  We said our tearful goodbyes and gave lots of hugs.

                                                 Leaving the hospital as a family of four!

"Aunt" Deb came down from Kansas to spend several days with us and she was a LIFESAVER.  I cried when she left.  I met Deb and her sweet family (husband Stan and 3 boys) my freshman year at Baylor at our church in Waco. God certainly ordained our meeting and a lifelong friendship began.  I would babysit their three boys in exchange for the use of their washing machine/dryer and lots of yummy dinners! She is a mentor, sister, friend, mom all rolled into one wonderful Deb! They have been back in Kansas for several years now and her boys are now grown ~  Two college graduates and one almost finished.  As a Godly mom of three boys I have learned so much from her wisdom.  My little family of 4 was blessed to have her love on us as we adjusted to life with two littles...in a hotel! Michael is still crazy about Deb and asks to talk to her all the time.
