Introducing the new Hochstetlers

It is official, after almost four weeks together, Tatiana Fernanda and Kathrine Estephinia are Hochstetlers. All this paperwork took a long time but it was worth every minute. We gain two girls on Ken's birthday, how is that for a birthday present?

Note: we have been very busy, and will post more about the last phase of our adoption soon. Keep commenting, they still make our days! :)

  5. God is so good! Official on Ken's birthday! How cool is that! When I check your blog for updates I usually look back at the photos of the little cuties eating ice cream - so adorable. Something simple - a little ice cream, sprinkled with time for each other, surrounded with lots of love, what fun and a beautiful memory. So glad you have this time to bond with the girls away from your everyday routine! Praying for you!
