Merry Christmas

We are humble and thankful at the kindness and mercy that God has shown us this year. A year that is noted for pushing our boundaries even further. We added a new daughter, spent a week in the lovliest country on the face of the planet, Ethiopia. For a land so poor, and people so desperate, I felt so loved and peaceful while we were there. For Christmas, I thought I would post some photos of an incredible journey.

The first picture is of the shoes that Sionna insisted on wearing when we first came home from Ethiopia. Notice they are ruby slippers.......There's no place like home!

Also, the pictures in the city are of Addis Ababa the capital city of Ethiopia. The photos look like poor rural America, but this is city center. The feelings I have for Ethiopia are undescribable. I can't even begin, so I won't try.

Thank you for showing us this journey in pictures. The picture of Sionna hugging the two of you is so beautiful. I am so thankful to know you and I am moved by God's work in your family.

Hi Tammy,

Sounds like you've had a blessed year indeed! I enjoyed all the pictures and I agree that the picture of Sionna hugging you two just made me tear up...it's such a heart felt hug! I hope you and your family had a Merry Christmas!
