Birthday and gingerbread
Our sweet Claire turned 5 yrs old on Sun. Where did the time go? She is growing up so fast. She has become a great big sister. She and Kevin are inseperable now. We have been busy with the holiday preparations. We did manage to get a gingerbread house made. Kevin just liked the icing part. It was really fun to squeeze the icing EVERYWHERE. It is really fun to enjoy the holidays through Claire's eyes. She really understands the WHOLE deal and is really loving it. Kevin is going along for the ride. He likes that everyone is having a good time and he is getting treats more often. Hannah is showing great patience with the small ones this holiday. She has been excited for them with everything and even helped with the house. Such a great big sister. We are going to the movies on Christmas day...just us...to see New Moon. She will be floating the rest of the day.

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..
