You may have noticed that the video that normally sits on the top of this site is not working. We are making some changes to the video and will hopefully have it back up soon. Also, there are some other changes we have started to make as well on the site that have to do [...]

And yet…

January 11, 2010

We are thrilled to have the new boy with us, he is the oldest of all our kids and is adjusting beautifully, and even though he has only been there 24 hours seems to be taking to the place like he has always been there. I have to admit that its hard to adjust to [...]

Beautiful moment

January 10, 2010

Last week while we were waiting for the helicopter to take off, the two oldest girls decided to take a walk down by the lake. I thought it was so cute to watch them sit and enjoy a moment of peace together. The kids have really come to form strong bonds with each other, I [...]

Even more

Gift From Heaven

January 6, 2010

We are still working on processing the children’s paperwork for adoptions and it seems there is always something new. This past week we found out that all the children needed to be taken to a certain clinic to get their blood tested. That does not seem like a big issue except that the clinic happened [...]

A little warmth

January 4, 2010

Our little town where the orphanage is has been having a terrible cold spell, which is very abnormal for this time of year.

The government is concerned that there are going to be massive crop failures because [...]
