On Gotcha Day, Elizabeth and I got our nails done in Hannibal to celebrate. I'm not sure how well you can see them, but they are painted pink with a white flower on her thumbs and big toes. (You can click on the picture to enlarge it). Some may think it was an elaborate waste of money to have a 3 year olds finger nails painted, but we plan to make this a tradition every day on November 15th on Gotcha Day. Elizabeth LOVED the attention of having her nails done :-)
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!
