Introducing the Stanley Family of 6, yeah!!!!!!

Big Brother's Brennan & Bryson & Big sister Lola Joy anxiously awaiting

Lily Hope & Their Mom & Dad

What an emotional, beautiful Homecoming!!!!

Love seeing this family together

Seeing this picture tares at my heart strings every time I see it, Brennan & Bryson really missed their mom & dad, too sweet!!!! Look at these three sweeters, Lola Joy, big sis to Lily Hope, Eva Faith buddy to Lola Joy & soon to be buddy with Lily Hope & my little man Cooper,
Hey Coop, aren't they gorgeous & sweet, I'm just sayn, ha!

There they are, yeaaahhhhhh, Stanley Family of 6!!!!!!
Sorry this took sooo long, two 3 yr olds plus a 10 & 12 yr old keeps us pretty busy

Pink is in honor of Lily Hope. What a blessing it was to be a part of another one of God's children coming home to their FOREVER FAMILY!!! They started off on this journey over 3 years ago, praying, HOPING, for their little China doll, which also led them to their Ethiopian Princess. It's amazing to me that God has known all along that their journey would be long & hard but oh so worth it, his timing is PERFECT. He has known since the beginning of time that on Friday September 17th, 2010 that Lily Hope would be with her big brother's & sister forever, amazing!!!His time is perfect, the Stanley's know that better than anyone, their story is amazing to say the least. I know that is one of the things they pray for, hope for, that their journey, will inspire other's to take that leap of faith, step out of the boat, listen to the call. We serve an amazing God, through him all things are possible. We love you guys!!!


"May your UNFAILING love rest upon us, Oh Lord, even as we put our HOPE in you. Psalm 33:22

We packed blankets, pillows & snacks

Best buds, what one doesn't think of the other one does
