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!

Avenue of Lights in Quincy

Elizabeth and Alicia sat in the front seat so they could get a birds-eye view of the lights! The lights were SO awesome! Well worth the drive to Quincy (even though Christmas was over :-)
