We have been married for 6 years and have 2 wonderful kids and hope to be adding more in the future! We are so excited and blessed to see that God is leading us once again to Ethiopia.....only this time to be his full time servants. We hope to be there August 2011. Join our journey as we find out what it is like to raise 3 babes in the 3rd world!
Jackson is our first born and highly opinionated 3 year old. He is sweet and affectionate but loves to run around with all sorts of energy and make his mommy crazy! He is normally found playing with his cars, trucks, and airplanes. He also has found new loves in skating and riding his bike. Jackson is a great big brother and takes this role very seriously.
Olivia is our second child, born in Ethiopia and came home to her forever family last July 2009. To be able to describe her as spunky and energetic would not even begin to fit her sweet personality. She is full of life and constantly happy. She will talk your ear off and at just 20 months old has hundreds of words and sentences.
Baby #3 is our latest addition and we are very excited about his/her arrival sometime this fall. We are so blessed to add another beautiful baby to our family. UPDATED: During the end of first trimester sonogram, we learned we had lost our precious baby. Please pray as we heal from this horrible nightmare and as we try to move forward and grow our little family.
Happy Birthday to our sweet, sweet angel. We are so blessed to have you in our family. We love you more than words can express. You make our days joyful and our hearts full.
The first time we saw your sweet face.
First time together
first time in a big girl bed
first kiss
The last 10 months of watching you grow into a little lady have been amazing. We pray that the Lord blesses us with many more birthdays to come. We love you!
