One Year!

Wow! It has been 5 months since our last post. We have some catching up to do! Today we celebrate one year with our Jack. What a year! We are absolutely grateful for our family of five! God has continued His faithfulness to us-leading us all the way. 

These three children amaze us, encourage us, challenge us, bring us laughter and joy. They are blessings from the Lord!

Most recently enjoyed a visit with the Sanders family. Last year when they came through we were in China!

Looking forward to all the Lord will do in and through our family. Grateful to our friends and family for all their care and prayer as we added Jack, another precious gift, to our family.
