- We have 4 healthy kids in our home. Adam and I were telling Gabriel the other night how strange it is to see him sitting at the kitchen island doing his homework when just 2 months ago we were praying and hoping and wishing he were here.
- We have a daughter who loves to jump, flip, sing, dance and rough house with her younger siblings. She is also a night owl who stays up late with daddy every night until at least 10:30pm and usually later. (Liz)
- We have 2 sons (and a dad) who play Super Mario Bros. on the Wii in the Family Room often. (Gabriel, Cael and Adam)
- We have some proud Ghanaian children who like to blast and dance Azonto often. (Gabriel and Debo Grace)
- We rarely have any quiet time to make or return phone calls and emails...sorry to those who are waiting.
- We have a boy who sings all the time from wake-up until sleep-time, including while doing homework. (Cael)
- We have a dinner table with 6 people and the begging dog underfoot is not the only one trying and enjoying all kinds of new foods. Our taste pallets are expanding...yay!
- We have a new preschooler who is mostly excited to participate in a local preschool. A sweet friend who teaches at a preschool offered for Debo Grace to come for recess and lunch time on Monday and Wednesday each week so that she can interact with some children for brief time each week...hopefully mom will also get an hour of free time!
- We have turned the former living room/music room into a full scale play room/music room.
- We have much to be thankful for!!!
Psalm 98:4
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

I'm still so amazed with all that you have done for these children, God gave u a big heart and a beautiful family to prove it. Keep up the awesome kind hearted things you are doing.
