What's new?

We have an awesome update coming soon on our ADOPTION and can't wait to share it, but in the midst of exciting adoption stuff, we've been celebrating some other good stuff too!

 My brother-in-law graduated from DTS!

Pray for him and his family as they are raising support

to serve in Athens, Greece.

Family pool party for my oldest niece's High School Graduation!

 Wesley turned 11 this month!

(or as he put it, 4,018 days)

 Savannah turned 5!

(cannot believe my baby is five)

 And we have sprinkled in some fun on the lake!

Don't I have the coolest in-laws?? 

We had to make

this into his Father's Day card

Lots is happening on the adoption front--more news coming soon!

Gotcha Day!

We celebrated Savannah's 4th birthday June 13th (4th birthday!! cannot believe it!) and I'll share more about the Birthday celebrations below, but today is

Gotcha Day

Gotcha Day is the day we met Savannah and she became ours--June 28, 2007.  Since she was born 11 weeks prematurely, she was still in the NICU when we found out about her. 

We met her birthparents and the birthfather's parents before we met Savannah.

Her birthfather introduced us to Savannah.

You can read all about our adoption experience with Savannah starting here--it's a story I love to read over and over.  NOT because I wrote it, but because only GOD could have pulled that off.  I am in awe of His work and that He lets us in on it.  WOW!

Savannah is into everything princess and ballerina.  So we had a Princess Ballerina Dress Up Birthday Party.  We just invited family, but she was as happy as could be because she was getting to dress up with her cousins.

Happy Birthday Savannah!
We thank God He brought us to you June 28, 2007!
