Come and see what the Lord has done

I love October!  The fall weather, the leaves changing color, the pumpkin patch, Thanksgiving and Christmas items on full display at Hobby Lobby :-)

October is a very special month for us.  This month Tyler and I will celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary.  We also celebrate the birth of our miracle baby Ethan who was not expected to make it to term and now here he is turning 4 years old.  And today we celebrate EMMA DAY!  One year ago today we met the little wonder that has filled our lives with unimaginable joy!

I thought in honor of EMMA DAY I would share her adoption video.  We make these for all our kids and since I am sharing Emma's I though I would add the other ones too.  So if anyone still reads this blog...and if any of you have a lot of free time today, I invite you to pull up a comfy chair and come and see what the Lord has done...

  4. Thank you for sharing these Jamie. I need to say ditto to everything Thoren just wrote. I have your blog bookmarked, and don't miss a post (and if I do, I go back and read it). I love hearing about your lives and how the children are progressing. It blesses my heart to see them not only adapt, but thrive in your family. You 2 are truly great parents and the Lord HAS done great things! Praise His name! You are one of the reasons I've been inspired to consider adoption for our own family. Only time will tell. Please keep it up. these were so heart-warming. Blessings.

  10. How are your children doing? How are the adjustments going? How did the new guys like their first Thanksgiving? Was it overwhelming for them? Do you have plans for celebrating Christmas? :o)
