New addition to our family!

Last Friday we welcomed Ragnhild Marie into our family.  She arrived in the United States on August 1st and lived the first few weeks in Nebraska.  She, along with her host sister Martina, were placed in a pretty harsh situation in Nebraska.  We were approached by Palma, Casey's godmother, about possibly hosting Marie after she and her husband Brad decided to host Martina.  After hearing their story we quickly agreed and were on a mission to get his poor girl on an airplane to California!  After many phone calls and some heavy pleading we were able to bring her into our home in California.  We are so excited to have her and the boys are elated to have a big sister!

On Friday when she arrived we took a quick drive up the coast, on Saturday we ran a few errands to make her room a little cozier, and on Sunday we hosted a bbq so the two girls (Martina and Marie) could be reunited.

Our next trip is already planned for Marie's birthday.  Her birthday is September 20th and we will be spending the weekend at Disneyland!
