Emily signing

Our little girl who had no language just six months ago...

Emily Signing O Holy Night from Roland Sanchez on Vimeo.


The highlight of Christmas is the annual Christmas play that the five cousins put on for the adults. Roland used to write it and lead the rehearsals, but now the kids do everything on their own. They work hard on it for months. It just keeps getting better each year.
This year there was a new dimension as the kids tried to incorporate Emily and Ashley into a couple scenes. The most touching part of the play this year was when the big kids signed O Holy Night. Emily lights up as she sees them signing and spontaneously joined in. She repeatedly nudges Ashley to try and get her to join in as well. We all got a little teary eyed watching Emily enjoy this sweet moment.

Maayong Pasko! Wow...that is so cool to see them signing! What a difference from just a few months ago. They are getting so big! Thank you for taking them into your home and loving them!

Tomorrow we go to court to finalize the adoption. We are thankful to the Lord for allowing us the privilege to adopt these little ones. Hasn't always been easy, but God is knitting our hearts together. We pray for CSC often.
