Happy 5th Birthday!

Happy birthday Bethany!

Five years ago, unbeknownst to me, our little girl was born in a hospital over five thousand miles away. Although we were apart for the first ten months of her life, it feels as if she has always been a part of me. Today, as we celebrate her fifth birthday, we thank God for creating her, and for making sure she was loved and cared for until she was able to join our family.

We love you so much!

Four Years Home

It was a Wednesday.

Four years ago.

On February 17th, 2010.

In San Francisco.

This little one became a part of our family. She arrived frightened, withdrawn, and cautious.

Four years later, she has blossomed into a sweet, funny and spunky little girl whom we love so much.

We knew from the beginning she and her big brother would become the best of friends.

And could tell from day one mommy would always be her favorite.

Although it took some time for her to warm up to daddy, there's no doubt she's become daddy's little girl.

We are so thankful for you dear Bethany. Every day with you is a gift from God, and we hope you will always know how much you are loved.
