Here’s the thing. You think your kids define adorable. You really believe your nephew is the cutest creature on the planet. You are so darn sure that your granddaughter has the market cornered on beauty. But, you are wrong. I hate to be the one to break this to you, but you are so wrong. Because, my children are officially the most beautiful children that have ever existed. Period. I have suspected this for about 10 months now but I received final confirmation last night in the form of brand new pictures from the transition house.
I’m going to share the evidence with you, but first you need to prepare yourself to be overwhelmed by their awesomeness. This is not a bad thing, of course, but it can be quite a bit to handle and you need to be ready. There are some, like myself, who will be immediately sucked in by their smiles and then will spend the next 18 hours staring at their perfect faces. There are others, like my husband, who will be so overcome by their cuteness that they will just lay their heads down on the kitchen table and cry. *This reaction was also probably brought about by the infinite bucket loads of love my sweet [L] has in his heart for these wonderful kiddos, which is one of the reasons that my heart is filled with infinite bucket loads of love for him* But I think you all can handle this and I definitely want the opportunity to brag on my babies. So here you go…
See what I mean? Absolute perfection. These perfect pictures also have the added bonus of showing our kiddos wearing and playing with items that we sent them! This is the first time we’ve actually seen this so this is a BIG deal to us. These clothes/toys we see in the pictures are actually, for some reason, from the care packages we sent back in June and July. Apparently there was some delay in their deliveries but, at least, they have them now. It feels so good to see them wearing these clothes and playing with some of the stuff we sent. It also gives me a good sense of how big they are and how well they fit into some of the clothes we’ve bought. For example, [A] in the blue shirt is [A] in a 3T. You can tell it’s a little snug. But [A] in the roomier white tee is [A] in a 4T which I bought after I found out how big and strong he was! Ahhhh knowledge! I love it! And I love these pictures! Now I want to see them – in PERSON! 11 more days until Embassy!
*Ok, I admit it. Your kids are pretty darn precious, too. I’m looking at you Levi. 
But, seriously – aren’t my babies perfect??? Simply perfect.
we’re going to have to agree to disagree on who is the cutest of them all… but they are pretty darn cute!! they are precious and look they like they can’t to be with you guys!
I’ll make an exception for your sweet boy. He can be AS cute as my kiddos.
also, do you have any of the shirts in toddler size? i really would like one for ian. my parents were wearing theirs this weekend and i think it would be adorable for ian!
The smallest we have left is a youth M.
I am just going to have to say, since I don’t have any children in my life that age, that these, indeed, are the cutest children in the world!
Now if one them would have happened to be around 1 year old, then my nephew would take the trophy.
SO excited for you guys! Absolutely love ready about you guy’s journey!
I always knew you were super smart Jess! I’ll allow for other winners in different age categories.
Thank you so much for your support during this process Jessica. You have no idea how much it means to me!
SO thrilled for you! And yes, they define cute. No question.
Yay! Me too!
Can’t wait until it’s y’alls turn!
They are so cute! I’m pretty partial to my boys but your kiddos are beautiful regardless:) and the part about [L], so precious. Soon mama, soon….
I will definitely make an exception for your boys Sara. Those two J’s definitely deserve their own adorable award!
I hope your brain hasn’t exploded yet today.
I have been reading your blog since [L] told me about it when I started working in OIT and I have never commented but I COULD NOT resist when I saw these precious pictures. They are absolutely beautiful children and they are truly blessed to have you guys.
Thank you so much Hilary! I love how supportive everyone at OIT has been to [L] and to me! And I cannot wait to have these beautiful children HOME!
ahhh, they are too cute! Love those BIG brown eyes! So excited for you all that you are so close to holding them!
Thanks Catherine! I know it, those eyes are amazing! I can’t wait!
