Wow! How time flies!

We are celebrating Anna's gotcha day. I can't believe a year has passed. We celebrated Sunday by eating Chinese food and cake and ice cream. As we look back over this past year, we see how faithful God has been to transition our family of five. Anna has changed so much in such a short time. What we are learning about her personality- It is big and she is usually joyful.
Here's a few things she loves to do:
- dance and sing
- play dress up
- take care of her babies
- eat most anything
- going to preschool and staying for lunch with her friends
- loves her brothers
- is becoming more of a daddy's girl ( she know how to work it) haha
- love shoes and purses

Well she's a girly girl with lots of personality and a sense of humor a blessing to us.
We are so privileged to called to be parents to two sweet boys and one precious girl. We thank the Lord daily for each one. We can't wait to see how much Anna grows and changes over the next year.

Three China Girls

This past Friday night, we welcomed home our sweet friends and their new baby girl Lane from China. Here we are- three mommas with our sweet girls! We are so happy the Rapers are home and now trying to recover from jet lag. I followed their journey while they were in china. Oh what sweet memories!  I can't wait for. Our girls to become sweet BFF's. 

Re-adoption Day

Ok, we have had a busy,eventful week. On Thursday we met in front of this sweet judge to readopt Anna. This helps with getting a US birth certificate. Which will make life easier in the future for school and such. This precious lady was so sweet and wanted to take pictures afterwards. She said adoptions made her job enjoyable. Thank you to our sweet friend - Craig Robertson who was our lawyer to help us walk through all the steps of making this official.
Craig started 200 million flowers an adoption agency to help others with adoption. Check them out- www.200millionflowers.org. Thank you Craig!!!!

Sweet Day!

Sunday we dedicated Anna to the Lord!
Our church had a ceremony that was so precious. Jeff our campus pastor has prayed over and dedicated 2 of our children. All three have been dedicated in the same church just different buildings. We stood down front and as Jeff prayed for us, tears streamed down my face. We are so blessed to be parents to all 3 of our precious children. We pray daily that God will guide us and help us to be Godly parents.

We have been very busy with baseball season. Matthew has had a great time playing this year. He is really into the game. He's playing third base and loves it. He even caught a line drive in a game and got one of friends boy out. We are proud of him for doing his best in the game. We only have a few more games. :( I LOVE baseball, it's my favorite sport. I could sit and watch the Braves daily.
