Enjoying the Ride

This Christmas has been a roller coaster of emotions! The highs are higher and more amazing that we could have expected. And the plunges have been fast, steep and not always quick to level out. It’s a windy ride… but we wouldn’t have it any other way!  

Between every cutesy Facebook post or photo is a lot of craziness. I’m not about to post the madness online… but I also hate how the glossy status updates aren’t a depiction of real life. Know that those pictures don’t tell the real story. ;)

That being said, the past 2-3 weeks have been wonderful. James and Esther are amazing. Asher and Cora are incredible. The laughter, joy and love we're all experiencing far exceeds the tears.

Thank you for the continued prayers and support! We are so blessed!

Introductions

In the summer of 2013 we started the adoption process, not knowing who it was that would one day be part of our family.

In May 2015, God placed their names in our hearts.


In June 2015, I met them in their birth country, Sierra Leone, and gave them hugs for the first time.

In September 2016, they met their new daddy and officially joined our family.

And now, in December 2017, we are thrilled to be united.  

We are filled with such JOY to FINALLY introduce you to James & Esther! 

James lights up a room! He's positive, energetic and extremely considerate of others. People just gravitate towards him... Future plans may include photography - he has already mastered the art of a good selfie.
  
  
Esther is so lovable! She's curious, helpful and wants to figure things out on her own. She has a deep voice that God has paired with an endearing little giggle. She can bring out the sass and likes to strike a pose.
 

We can't wait for you to meet them!
