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!

This is a real pelt that Becki is looking at in "The Indian Village" store.













Elizabeth is looking at a buffalo head while Holly pats its' nose
















Elizabeth REALLY wanted to see a mountain goat - but this stuffed one in a store was the closest we got to seeing one, lol ~














Girls acting like indians, lol!



This outdoor bathroom kinda makes a person appreciate indoor plumbing!
