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!

A Great Day for a Weiner Roast back in the woods!

We had a weiner roast in the woods behind Mom and Dad's house on Friday night (the last night of Becki & Joe's visit). Gary made it in for the weekend just a couple of hours before heading back to start the fire. Karen had chopped the wood for the fire, Gary mowed a path to the woods and a great time was had by all!

Chris brought Kari (Beaver) and they had so much fun playing with Becki's kids, Elizabeth and Andy. It's so great to spend time with him and I know he loves being with the family!

More Backwoods Fun!!
