My Baby Turns Three!!!

These are the first pictures I saw of C in August 2008. They were taken some time around her first birthday. It was love at first sight. As I read her file, I was overwhelmed by God's goodness in how He intervened in her life. C was near death when she was brought to the orphanage at 3 months old. She was blue, gasping for air, had pneumonia and 2 large holes in her heart. God placed several people in her path to nurture and care for her. She had surgery very young which changed her life. She is now completely healthy with no residual effects from her congenital heart condition other than a scar. She is full of life. A funny little girl with a sweet and tender heart.





My how she has grown!! I am so thankful for her life and the mercy and grace that God has pour out in her life. She is a rare treasure.

Can you tell that O and C are recovering from haircuts they gave themselves about a month ago?

Happy Easter!

We have enjoyed a great weekend. The girls were beautiful in their Easter finery. We hunted eggs, ate candy, dyed eggs, ate candy, went to church and ate more candy. The girls have been playing with the treats found in their Easter baskets all afternoon. Next year the Easter Bunny better bring new toothbrushes!

After church, the girls found all of the eggs the Easter Bunny left in the backyard. The piggy banks were all out because the eggs were filled with a coin.





This morning the girls found their Easter baskets filled with goodies!


On Saturday, we enjoyed our annual outing to the big egg hunt held at C's school. There were over 13,000 eggs to be found. My girls walked away with their fair share!
