CHINESE NEW YEAR

The Chinese New Year celebration started on February 14 this year. We had a celebration in Tupelo with other adoptive families. Here are a few pictures from our event. You can see that Isaac thought the music was too loud and was not very excited about doing the dragon dance with the other children.

PLAYING IN THE SNOW

We had a snow day, which is rare in Mississippi. The kids had so much fun.

CHRISTMAS 2009

This Christmas truely held many things to be thankful for. On Christmas day one year ago, we received a phone call about a precious little 2 1/2 year old boy in Taiwan who needed a home and they wanted to know if we would like to adopt him. God has really blessed our family because now one year later, that precious little boy, who is now 3 1/2 year old, is now a part of our family. He has been home with us for 8 months now. Olivia loves having a little brother and although they argue and fight sometimes like typical brothers and sisters, I can see that they have truely grown to love each other. Isaac really enjoyed Christmas. He loved getting all the presents but I am so proud that when anyone asks him what Christmas is about he will say, "Jesus loves me." Olivia is the same way. She will tell people in a heartbeat that Christmas is not about Santa Claus or getting presents, it is about Jesus. Here are some pictures of our happy family.
