Snapshots of our family.


Josiah is conspicuously absent from most of these photos because he will not get off his bike! The kid is a two-wheeled bike riding machine! Otherwise, he is eating, sleeping or going to school. Elijah is learning to love and share with his sisters. His excitement for being their big brother can be overwhelming to them at times. He has so much love to give. As for the girls, they are adjusting so well. We could not have predicted that things would begin so well. They are showing great signs of comfort and attachment with us. Yes, overall, four kids is a tremendously difficult challenge, but also a tremendous reward. We are blessed beyond measure. We thank each one of you out there that helped to make this possible. Also, for those that continue to support us, we thank you, thank you, thank you. We could not do it without all of you! For your viewing pleasure...the Sanne children!











Family photo.

A family finally united. What a joyous and special occasion. It was our first family photo.

Our girls in our hands, at last!







These are our girls' birth- parents and baby brother. We had the most wonderful meeting with them. They are beautiful people beyond description. They truly love their children and pray God's best for them. 










Tired baby. She fell asleep on me in the car on the way up the mountain the first night. We were tired and hot, but it was absolutely wonderful.













I entered the agency and Geslande climbed right into my lap. Joravena took a little coaxing, but she came around. This was moments after I saw my girls for the first time. Could Geslande's smile get much bigger?

Views from Haiti













 We loved Haiti very much and are struggling with capturing words that do such a magnificent trip justice. In the mean time, here are some photos of the country.
