So Many Firsts!

Their first time in the hot tub! They love it!!



Their first time at the ocean.






Their first time fishing! Big success! 25 fish!!




Feeding the ducks at Lake Murray. Or maybe more like chasing the ducks at Lake Murray!

First day of school!



They love riding their friends bike after church on Sundays.



Their first time watching an American soccer team play. They both wanted to go and get uniforms and shoes right then and there.

Everyday with these guys is a first. It could be a new food that they have never had or a new word that they think is funny or watching the machine at Long's Drug store drop out the photos that I just ordered. Seeing this life through the eyes of children who could have never imagined life this way is such a priviledge. I have learned that we take everything for granted. We have it so easy in America.

Congratulations! I get so excited seeing how your family is doing. Aaron and I want to adopt older children someday also.

What an amazing story your family has! I just love reading about families that are seeking the Lord and allowing the Lord to use them in such mighty ways! We are currently adopting from AGCI and piloting their referral program from India. It is an adventure!
Thanks for starting this blog....so cute too! Did you design this? I want to learn how:-)
Blessings,

So excited for you all, Ann! The perfect family was selected for these boys...and these boys were the perfect kids for your family!

I love that you now have a blog too...I always wanted to know more of what was happening on your front. I only got glimpses of it through Autumn and Emily's blogs.

Love you all! Glad to see you're doing so amazingly well! And, yes, you're totally right about us Americans having it easy and taking life for granted. We're truly blessed to be in this nation!
