Our Adoption Story

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.

Easter Sunday

Our family all together at church on Easter morning.

Elizabeth got new sunglasses from the Easter Bunny

All dressed and ready to go to GrandMary and Papa for Easter Dinner. This cute outfit was given to her from Sara O'Bryan....thanks Sara!!

We also celebrated my great-neice Aaliyah's 5th birthday on Easter (she turned 5 on the 13th) Pictured is Elizabeth, GrandMary, Papa, Wendy (my neice, and Aaliyah

Wouldn't this make any mother scared to see her son riding this?

Chris moved into his own place, so we had a 'house warming' celebration for him on Easter, too.

What a beautiful day to fly a kite!

Trip to Maryville

Holly and Eric at the hotel prior to the concert (See Elizabeth in the mirror?)

Elizabeth with her GrandMary and Papa before the concert we went to see in Maryville.

Elizabeth and I went to Maryville with my sister Holly and my parents, Mary and Harold, to see my nephew Eric in the Spring Concert. It was very impressive (and so was Eric...he even had a solo). Elizabeth LOVED the music and dancing. They sang George of the Jungle and that was probably her favorite :-)
