#1 ~ We stopped in Bethel to see Tom's Great Aunt Lucille on our way to Des Moines. Tom needed to make a quick trip to Iowa to look at a trailer for the farm, so Elizabeth and I tagged along for the ride :-)
#2 ~ We stayed in a motel that had 3 indoor pools, 2 hot-tubs, and several water slides. Since it was December, we practically had the entire place to ourselves!
#3 ~ We LOVED the hot tub :-)
#4 ~ Here are the water slides. Elizabeth would go down them as long she was sitting on my lap.
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!
