Spring break....hasn't quite been what I had dreamed of....
We had a wonderful birthday party Sunday afternoon and Elizabeth got a lot of wonderful gifts and we enjoyed delicious cake that was decorated by my talented mother. On Monday Elizabeth woke up a sick little girl, running a high fever. We were lucky to get in to Dr. Wise and found out she had a bad ear infection. She prescribed antibiotics and ear drops. We spent all of Monday snuggling and cuddling together; she slept a lot and was rather listless. Now (Wednesday evening) she is feeling better, she still has a cough and running nose, but her ears are much better. Now Tom and I are getting the cold, ug!
So, as I said, not what I dreamed, but if she had to be sick, I'm glad I was able to be home with her. I'm just so glad she is better now! Wow...what a helpless feeling when she was feeling so miserable and there was little I could do to make her feel better.
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!

In case you haven't checked your hotmail acct, there is an electronic birthday card to Elizabeth from CJ. Hope all is going well.
Shucks, I checked my e-mail and we didn't get the card :-( Could you resend? It was great of you all to remember her :-) CJ will have a birthday coming up soon, and Bryan, too, since you all share the day...but I can't remember the date for sure...was it March 26th?
