Claire loved being buried in the sand....it was warmer
Outside the aquarium
Big ol whales
Sitting on the Ben and Jerrys cow
View from the aquarium
K man loving the merry go round
Loved the facepainting
He and I
LOVED the merry go round....named her horse Mystery
Cute kids...just like having 2 sets of twins
A girl and her dad, a relationship really coming together
Such beautiful scenery in SD, so glad we went. I don't think we will be making that MARATHON driving trip any more. We decided we won't drive more than six hrs before making a stop for the night. Claire lost her tooth while walking in Old Town, she made quite a cute mini celebrity. Hannah showed that she is really growing up and can handle tough situations sent her way. Great vacation all around.
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..

Favorite Poem
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
