Six Years Ago & One Year Ago

Six years ago we adopted Jacob from Ukraine on August 2, 2002. He was 15 months old and we were naive first time parents! Jacob has taught us a lot about being parents over the past 6 years and boy has he grown up too! We are so surprised at how fast time as flown by...it seems just like yesterday when we walked into that Ukrainian orphanage and saw our little boy for the first time. What memories!!

God is so good to us that only one year ago on August 2, 2007, we saw Jenna for the first time. Our 3rd child and baby daughter in China was waiting for us and the face was priceless! Two beautiful children seen for the first time on the same date...amazing! Jenna has grown so much in the past year and it's hard to fathom what life at home was like without her.
