Has it really been a year?

Can you believe it?  Today we celebrate one year of freedom for the boys!  One year ago today we took the boys through the gates of the orphanage for the last time!  It has been crazy to look at the pictures of our time over there and see how much the boys have grown and matured!  They left skinny and scared little boys and have blossomed into mature young men!

To God be the Glory!!!!

  8. I can't believe it's been a year. I cried watching your post when you walked out of the orphanage with each of them. So wonderful to see how much they have grown and are now thriving!

  11. Jamie,

    You and your precious family are so often in my thoughts. I am sure that life with your little ones is blessed but also very busy.

    I bet the boys have grown fast! I pray that they have continued to progress. I'm sure that the boys will meet their full potential as a result of your hard work and, of course, your incredible love for them.

    Please know that there are so many people from all over the world (I live in the UK) who love and pray for your family.

    Best wishes,

    Anna
