Polar Bear of the Month

So proud of Rayna for being chosen as the Polar Bear of the Month! 

*Note:  our little polar bear did NOT recently get glasses.  They are sunglasses without the lenses. She's been wearing her "reading glasses" everywhere.  Haha!

Gift for Ethan

Just received the most precious gift from my sweet friend Annie Beth. 

Have you guys noticed that our little guy is always eating out of these metal bowls?  Well, AB ordered a set all the way from China!  The coolest part is that they came from his province!  

So excited to get our little guy home so that he can eat congee (or Cheerios--haha!) out of his new bowls. 

Thank you, Annie Beth!! 

Happy Birthday to Rayna!

Praising God for the life of our sweet Rayna today. She's 7!!!  We had a great day celebrating her 7th birthday. Happy birthday to our Ray of Sunshine!!

Molly the Politician

Super proud of our girl!  She's been running for city council. She even had to give a speech in front of the whole third grade. Well, today she was elected as a city council member!  She is very excited and we are very proud of her!

Pictures of Ethan!!

Tammy, the American that volunteers in Ethan's orphanage, sent me some pictures this week!  The first one is taken earlier this week and the one below was taken today!!  (I guess he got his head shaved in the last couple of days.  Oh well....he's just as cute with no hair!)

 These pictures were taken in April 2015--right around the time of his first birthday.  I'm pretty sure these pictures were taken in the hospital.  Such a gift to receive pictures of our sweet boy!
