Sorry its been so long!

Today we went to the Alliance Air Show. It was fun. We left before the Thunderbirds because all the kids were tired so I was little bummed. Here are a few pics. We've been really busy here but all are well. Kelsey is doing great in school. She went to the State Fair last weekend. Next weekend is Corwin's birthday party. He's turning 4 soon!

some pictures from today

One year ago today in Fuzhou, Fujian

after nine months of praying, our lives changed forever. We watched a sad, crying little boy being brought into our hotel lobby. We were hoping for a peaceful transition! He was brought into the conference room and sat in our guide's lap while they tried to make him stop crying to take his adoption and passport photo. I know he did not know what was going on. I was not able to hold him till after that was done. It was very hard.

Today we have an almost 4 year old boy and he is one of the happiest children I have ever seen! He is smiling all the time and has a wonderful disposition. God has truly blessed us. Tonight we had cake, please forgive the messy background in the video, we just started school and things are not quite as I would like them. Look at that smile!
