We had a really great Christmas. Claire wasn't really interested in presents....mainly boxes and the pretty wrapping. She kept trying to put the wrapping back on the packages, it really cracked us up. Santa brought Hannah a really life like baby doll and Claire isn't so sure about it. She doesn't like for me to play with the doll, I believe she thinks it IS real. FUNNY.
We travel to the in-laws soon and will do it again. This will be their first time to meet Claire. Won't be able to post until we return. Pray that all goes well and she adapts to travel well.
Every call has a beginning. A quiet moment when God whispers a promise to a mother’s heart . A holy place where a father bows and faithfully accepts the journey set before him. A miraculous morning that unexpectedly dawns… Casting its first light on a chosen threshold. A gentle knock..a closed door opens, a sacred invitation sent by the Father.. leads to the other side of the world. Where lonely hearts stare out orphanage windows praying for someone to care.. and then one morning, on an ordinary day an orphan’s life changes... God sends them a second chance...Through you..

We are a family now, a whole,of which you are a part,and you are just as much our child as any in our heart. We do not love you differently,nor would we give up less of all that life has given us to bring you happiness.There is no limit to our love,no boundary you might cross,no price you may be asked to pay,no need to fear its loss. We are now one, the five of us,windows of one home. As long as we have life and breath,You’ll never be alone.~Nicholas Gordon
