That's right friends and relatives, our family got bigger, but this time it was so much easier. No real weight gain, no strange food cravings, no swollen feet, and no long painful labor. Our newest daughter arrived on a school bus! (You should try it, its the latest Craze!) She came with a name and no diapers to change...The happiest of kids in my house is Lauren because she finally got "her very own" German, her name is Lisa-Marie Bretthauer. She is just one of the exchange students that came for a 3 week stay. I don't know how we have been so fortunate, 3 times over! Lisa is soooo nice and I already feel the bond we will share for a lifetime, and I know Lauren just adores her! Our first day together was spent by going to church, walmart, light house mall, my entire family met up and ate at b-dubs, then they all came over for some dessert, and finally the girls did a little t-ping to end their long day! These weeks will just fly by:( So much planned in such a short amount of time.
I love the picture I took of them as they were getting off the bus at school. New bff's after knowing each other for just a few hours, I love the warm embrace they are sharing:)
We now have 6 daughters, 3 American and 3 German
