The hearts of these kiddos of ours are a constant blessing.

I hope this will be a blessing to you too.

These were the instructions for Chad’s journal entry:

Here is his enrty:

I don’t think there will be any corrections to this assignment, as I couldn’t see through my tears.

Thank you, Lord, for these precious children.

*I had Chad’s permission to publish this.

Miss Eliza has been with us seven months now.

I spent some time this weekend looking at photos and video from our time in China.

She was so tiny then! But still so mighty!

What a difference these months have made. What an amazing journey this has been.

We have a “maturity” of sorts, and confidence with Tate’s adoption that was not there just a year ago.

Thinking about Tate here with us makes my heart sing.

I know that the Lord placed this little miracle into our arms so we would be ready to add Tate to our family too.

We are just in awe of all the Lord has done for us.

And privileged to call this little sweetheart ours.

Happy {Belated} Valentine’s Day!

We started preparing for a Chinese New Year party today!

I made lots of plans for it yesterday, so I hope that we can enjoy some of the plans and have a great party!

Been reading some cute books to the littles about the traditions of Chinese New Year!

It’s worth celebrating, don’t you think??

Can’t wait to work on the menu with Addie Mae!

Chinese New Year starts on Thursday. I am not sure when we will have our party yet, but we can’t wait!

恭禧發財 Gung Hei Fat Choy!!! Wishing you great happiness and prosperity!!

Lane and I snuck away last week and picked up our new prescriptions at the eye doctor.

Lane looks super cute in his new glasses!

We are better here, Praise the Lord! Eliza is the last one on the mend – and if being crabby has anything to do with how she feels, we have a ways to go!

Hoping to get back to some kind of normal tomorrow, as the three oldest kiddos are away again today.

Have a great week, everyone!
