Yes, it is hard for me to think it has been 3 months since we stepped off a plane from Korea holding our precious Lydia on American soil! She is growing so fast! Girls are definitely different than boys to that I can certainly attest! Lydia is a complete joy and it seems like she has always been here. I laughingly tell everyone the reason she is not walking yet has everything to do with 3 brothers!! They are constantly picking her up to the point in which she now has learned to let out a loud scream so they will leave her alone!! She is learning new words every week. The cutest one is "Hello- but pronounced- Hellwooh"! Of course the boys say she picked that one up from me! LOL
I have officially changed the title to the "Melton Family Journey" so that those of you who follow this blog can continue to see what is going on in the life of the Meltons! The boys are doing great in school, and I am reminded each day of what little time I have left with them. They are growing to be wonderful, godly, young men and Bob and I could not ask for anything more. Zach is now 17 and looking forward to the day he officially owns a truck! Of course I told him it could be a car but he quickly let me know that real men drive TRUCKS!! LOL Brandon is 13 (going on 33) and full of himself as always. He keeps it fun around our home! Matthew is 11 and he absolutely loves karate. He is also very good at it I might say! He is working on a purple belt and Brandon is working on an orange belt.
I stand amazed at how God has worked throughout our entire lives but especially in the area of adoption. He has brought 2 amazing kids into our lives through adoption and looking back at my life I could never have imagined we would have 4 kids!! They have been such a blessing to us and it is a constant reminder of how He knits our families together- far beyond what we could have ever imagined! I am also reminded of how He knits us into His Family- we could never imagine the love He has for us! He has adopted us as His chosen and precious children! What could be better than that!
