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!

On Tuesday, May 9th, The Carpenter Kids had their Spring Program. Elizabeth's class had the theme of ducks (as you can probably tell) and they sang 3 cute songs. She did some dancing, but stayed back by the wall most of the time. At one point she noticed her MaMa (Judy) taking a picture and she looked and looked at her and then she noticed her Papa Joe and her Mommy, Daddy and Aunt Holly sitting in the audience too. I was afraid she would want to come and sit with us, but she stayed up on the stage and she did a great job. We were very proud of her :-)
