Thankful Thursday – 3 year anniversary

Three years ago today

the sweetest baby in the world was placed in our arms. It’s shocking how fast the time has gone by and we have just been so blessed to have Nadia in our lives. A man in China made us a little watercolor that said “Happy Family” and he was right.

Nadia and I were on a road trip home from Houston on the day in 2009 so here is the next closest day that we had a family photo.

And for those who have never seen our “Gotcha Day” video – I included it here.

Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for the 8.5 months I was able to be an Area Manager for World Vision. With our upcoming adoption time frame uncertainty, I decided to step down to have some more family time. It was a delight serving with the Child Ambassadors in my region. And I am still a Child Ambassador – so I still want people to sponsor kids 🙂
