Addie and I recently had the chance to take a trip to Seattle for a reunion with the moms and babies from our travel group to Ethiopia. It was an amazing weekend, sharing our hearts, faith and love for each other and for all our sweet babies. Each child is so unique and was...
Summer days. Nothing makes me happier than bare feet in the grass, being warmed by the sun, little tongues stained from popsicles and watching the golden light filter through the trees in our backyard just before sunset. The days pass way too fast and this summer was no exception. Beginning with...
I can’t believe it’s been a little over a month since we have been home. Addie is such a joy! She is such a sweet, happy & easy baby and we feel so blessed that she is ours. It has been so amazing to watch her come alive over the past month. She soaks up...
