Welcome to our adoption story, which officially begins when we jet off to the Ukraine to meet our daughter, Elizabeth Marie, on Oct. 15th 2005. We hope to keep our family and friends up to date with our daily activities through this blog (stands for web log). We are very blessed to have wonderful support systems...our loving family, friends, and our church family. We want to thank everyone for their prayers and concerns since we began this process in August, 2004 and as we continue our journey.
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!

Cancer quilt at the Cary Cancer Center
As most of you know, I won my battle with breast cancer earlier this year (YEAH! Elizabeth was my inspiration...knew I needed to survive so we could go get our little girl :-) and I was asked to make a quilt block for a quilt that would be put together....so the one in the lower left corner is the block that I made and now the quilt is complete. My mom helped by sewing on the pink ribbon. It has the names of all my co-workers and family members on it, as well as the words God, Family, Friends, and Faith (Those 4 things are also what got me through this!) It is also neat that it is hanging in the little room where they draw blood, so now all the patients will see it and they said many people already remarked about the ribbon on it.
