"I'm bursting with God-news!"
-Hannah's first exclamation after receiving the child she had been praying for, and then giving it back to the Lord.
(1 Sam 2:1 - The Message Bible)
-Det första Hanna sa när hon äntligen fick det barnet hon hade bett Gud om, och sedan gett det tillbaka till Herren:
"Jag överflödar av Guds nyheter!"
(1 Samuelsboken 2:1)
Here she is - our Zimbabwean!
Here she is - our African Queen!
...watching my daughter laugh!
Niklas berättar för sin mamma att hon har blivit farmor! Niklas tells his mom that she has just become a grandmother!
This blog is about our THREE daughters adopted from South Africa: a Zulu, a Shona, and a Xhosa!

The Lorentzons
We are Niklas and Katie, the proud new parents of a baby girl, an African queen whom we met in South Africa in June 2008.
Now we're also the proud parents of another baby girl, a Zimbabwean queen whom we'll meet on May 31, 2010
Oh, and now we're also the proud parents of ANOTHER baby girl, a Xhosa princess whom we'll meet on Nov 24, 2014
Vi är Niklas och Katie, ett par som är lyckliga över sina döttrar, våra afrikanska drottningar som vi hämtade i Sydafrika i juni 2008 och 2010 och 2014.
(KT writes in English,
N skriver på svenska,
so you know who is writing what
så du vet vem som skriver vad!)

Det är en av dagens höjdpunkter när man får se de härliga korten på er familj. Jag vill uppmuntra Esther att träna på sitt instrument så vi kan få lyssna till något fint när hon kommer hem!
VAKKER akkurat som storesøster!!!
Perfect title!
Oh Katie!!! ....
You have a new daughter! Praise the Lord!
Both of the girls are so precious, and your family looks wonderful! Amazing, beautiful, totally a work of God for sure.
I spent about an hour today looking through your blog with all of the post since you learned about Sylvia. I'm so super happy for you guys!
Hope everything is going okay for your family today. Sounds like you are all transitioning pretty well for the most part so far?
It's fun to see familiar sights in your photos. The store in the airport, the Union buildings and park, the Abba office, Heidi...
Congratulations again!
Instämmer helt med föregående talare. Njuter av att se alla underbara bilder! Man blir bara lycklig! KRAM till hela familjen!
Jeg vil bare si akkurat det samme som Beathe sier!: Vakker akkurat som storesøster!
