A Year in PIctures

Happy New Year!! While we welcome 2008, we look back on 2007 with fond memories and are left in awe at all the changes in our lives. Leo has gone from just learning to sit up to running around with a hammer. Kevin has started a new job very different than his old one and moved us more than halfway across the country. And me? Well, I just try to keep up, and let's just say my patience grows stronger each day, as does my laughter. Life has been gracious to us this past year, and God has led closer to each other and to Him.
In 2008 we look forward to Cassie and Lou's wedding, making a trek to Yellowstone, and hope to travel to AZ and NE for visits.
We also hope to get our referral from China with a picture of our daughter whom we can not wait to meet, however due to the latest reports on progress this may not happen until later in the year. Right now they are at December 19, 2005, and our date is February 16, 2006. They process about 6 days worth of applications each month, so very slow.
Overall we are very happy with life and are thankful for our family, friends and our experiences. May 2008 ROCK ON!
