Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor... Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.
Mother Teresa

ONE OF OUR GREATEST JOYS...

IS WATCHING THE LOVE OF A MOM AND DAD FOR THEIR NEW CHILD...



in this case, friends made dear by the bonds of adoption. We had such fun together on the Riverwalk, laughing and juggling sweaty babies together .

..And reveling in the magic of the families God formed, having waited and watched together this past year as the beauty unfolded.





and just like the hot of the day we experienced together, and the chaos of eating "happily" with 8 kids in tow , it wasn't all easy...in fact, it was hard and tedious and scary...



but the rewards caught in these pictures of Micah and mom and dad are all the words needed...she is a treasure. As her name meaning implies...a gift from God.



she sparkles








and is graced to have one of the neatest moms and dads and sissies ever...we're so glad you are here Micah!




and Micah's sister , Sarah, was incredible!... and quickly found her way to our girl's and our hearts.


WE LOVE YOU GIRLS!








and also, more coming from our week long trip to Houston to the IFS central office, and a couple of days in San Antone....
