We have Eliza!
She is precious, and so excited to be with us. She has longed for this day for so long!
All of her closest friends have already been adopted. She seems healthy and well taken care of.
She is awkward and nervous, seems quite hyper, but is so sure she wants this. The orphanage […] Read more…
Almost time!
We are taking a brief rest before we go to meet Eliza. I just wanted to let you all know how much we appreciate all of your comments and prayers. We are so incredibly thankful for the encouragement you have given us.

Oh My Goodness!
I have so much to say about today. I don’t even know where to begin.
This morning we took Evangeline to Walmart to get some coloring books and colored pencils. She is just precious and picked out a pink back pack and several things to color with. Then before we left I suggested to […] Read more…

These were taken yesterday morning at breakfast with my iPhone. She is smiling and playful!
Yesterday she ate a lot! I think she has never seen so much food in her little life. Her frail stature tells the tale better than any words could have.

A Quick Question
As many of you know, we are a home schooling family. At the moment, we are in our end of summer rambunctious stage where the many long days of summer have kind of strung together, and the children are all settled into their lazy crazy summer routines.

Evangeline
