One year update

Sisters!

Me and the boys while we hike up to a beautiful waterfall in Georgia

We made it to the waterfall!

Jacob's first attempt to carry Akor!

Zane and Dad helping Akor make it up to the gorge. A LONG hike!

The cutest pair ever!


Overlooking Tallulah Gorge!
So it's been one year! February 9th to be exact! We feel blessed beyond words! Life seems boring before these two gifts came along! All five of our children are gifts and have been given to us in different ways, two biologically and three through adoption. One as a one month old and two as older children. Every single experience of raising these kids has required strength from the Lord but also has blessed us more than we ever dreamed! We have experienced so much laughter with these two! Peter dances for seconds, he dances when he goes from one room to another, when he wants to do something really bad, and just when he wants to be silly! Akor just brings laughter too despite being quite a strong willed little girl! She is adorable, fun and very sweet too! They are so affectionate as well! The older three have accepted them into our family just like any other sibling, with fighting, wrestling and tons of playing! :) We know God is to be glorified in all we do. It's been a tough year ministry wise and I know that God knew it would all happen at the same time, and so our good times as a family have come with all seven of us together!
