Meeting William and Angelina

Today Timothy and I got to meet William and Angelina. It was a good experience. It went better than I thought it would. They were both shy at first, but after a while they warmed up to us. William went and sat on Timothy's lap for almost an hour while they looked at books and played a little. Angelina sat on my lap off and on and also sat on Timothy's lap for a minute or two. William is really starting to talk and we can understand most of what he says. Lina (Angelina's nick-name) says only 3-4 words, but is good at making her desires known. We mostly just played with them at their foster home, and talked with their foster parents. As we left they watched us out the window, they didn't cry, but they looked sad that we were leaving. It was probably rare for them to get 2+ hours with one-on-one attention from adults. We love them a little already, and I'm sure that love will continue to grow as we spend more time and get to know them better. Oh, I just feel so happy! We'll post pictures of us with them in few days.
