Today Andrew got his first summer outfit. He has gotten so big since last summer. He is tall and gained some weight which we are all so happy for him. You can even see in this pictures how big he is. I can't wait to see him getting bigger and bigger.

Look at these too (Don't they look cute?)

I love their smile. It just says it all in pictures.

Some pictures of Kloe :)

Our Kloe is getting big. She is almost 7 weeks old. I can not believe it. She just leaning how to smile. Tonight she was smiling alot :)  It was adorable.

This Is Your Time

After the Babylonian captivity when there were still Israelites in Persia there arose an evil man named Haman who wanted to destroy the people of God. God through various circumstances placed Esther in King Xerxes' household, and she alerted him to Haman's plans. Esther trusted God, and God worked through her to save his people.
  You can have peace today knowing that God has also placed you in your unique situation to have an extraordinary impact for him. He is not surprised at where you are. Rather, he put you there, gave you the gifts necessary for your circumsances, and will give you victory if you place your trust in him.

Happy Birthday Caleb and Abraham

Today is Caleb's 13 birthday. Caleb came home from Donetsk Ukraine 3 an a half years ago. He is our big sport fan. He wanted to celebrate Abraham's and his birthday together. They are a week apart. We had pizza for dinner and their favorite dirt dessert. We love you two. Happy Birthday Caleb and Abraham

Courageous

I finally saw this movie and loved it. This is a good movie. Good message. Rent it and watch it.

Always Thankful

This is the song I will never forget. When I was coming home 5 years and 2 months ago. I will never forget sitting in the back of our big van and listen to this song. Now every time I hear this song it reminds me of me coming to America (home). I know I said this before but I love saying it because it is true. I thank you so much Mom and Dad for bringing me to America. I love you both.

Why is my family so happy?

 Today we got some good news from Kofi and Carla. These three new ones are coming home. We are adopting Selah's tween sister and her younger tween brothers. I am  so excited to have them as my sister and brothers. I can't wait to meet them. I love you kiddos.
