Here they are!

We are so incredibly blessed! The picture to the left is of our boys ( special thanks to Rich and Peter for getting the picture to us so quickly)!!! The nuns at the orphanage (Home of Hope) prayed over the weekend and picked these two little guys for us. Their names are Benedict on the left and Louis on the the right. As our friend Jo predicted one of them is named after the Pope. Heidi and I are going to most likely make their first names their middle names and will give them new first names when we adopt. We will let you all know when we make our final decision. We don't have all the specifics yet but they are both roughly 2 1/2 years old and we don't think they are brothers based on their different facial features. According to our friend Rich, Benedict is a little more outgoing than Louis. We just can't get over how GOD just continues to answer prayers and bless our family. Of course the girls are as excited as us now since seeing this picture brings a little more reality to everything. They both want to have them here now as do we. We definitely have a lot more to do as we need to have some tests done and then need to have the official adoption date set up but it looks like if things keep going at this pace we may be heading over to Rwanda in late October. We want to thank everyone who has been praying on our behalf, Heidi and I could not be humbled more by the power of prayer and GOD. Thank you everyone for the prayers we truly appreciate and are in awe of the outpouring from friends and family!

More info to come as we get it! Stay tuned and GOD Bless! Pete and Heidi.
