Wow Brad and Amy!! I am so touched by your welcome home video! Your family of all boys has sure changed since the BSC days when Ray came home with stories from Brad about raising boys!! I am really at a loss for words at how open and loving your hearts are for these girls. I agree with Marilyn they are blessed to be in the Arnold family! We will pray for a smooth transition as you all adapt to this change in your family. Love you! Marcia
