Five Years Later...

We started this blog when we went to the Ukraine to adopt our daughter Elizabeth in 2005. Five years later we are loving life with our daughter (now 6) and our son, Chris (23). Tom continues to farm and I have the wonderful job of a stay-at-home mother and farm-wife. God has truly blessed us with two wonderful kids, a great new home, all while being surrounded by a terrific family, friends, and church family!

Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!


I could look at this beautiful little girl sleeping forever!!! We are sooooooo blessed!!! Sometimes I still can't believe that she is really ours! God must think we are special to allow us the honor of raising this beautiful creature.

Last night, we were visited by Aunt Machelle and cousin Danielle and she loved playing with them.

We had a great day today. First we were visited by Charlotte Baecker who came bearing numerous gifts (all of which Elizabeth loved!). Uncle Gary and Aunt Karen also visited this morning. Next we visited Aunt Carol and Uncle Mark. Elizabeth absolutely loved playing with her cousins Jared, Seth, and Anthothy. They had her laughing and squealing! Then we went to visit my friends, Traci, King, and Skyler at their brand new house near Palmyra. She had hugs for Traci, too. I can't believe how well she is adapting to her new life and to all the new people she has met. She truly is an amazing little girl! Posted by Picasa
