Good-bye to Jack, Lynne, Dean and Luke...

We were so sad to say good-bye to our dear friends, 
Jack and Lynne Raatz. 
God has used them to touch our lives 
in so many ways over the past 5 years, 
and we will miss them tremendously. 
Braden, especially, will miss his best buddy, Dean, 
and Dean's sweet little brother, Luke.
We pray that the Lord, who knit our hearts together, 
will keep us, and our boys, close throughout the years. 
We love you, Jack and Lynne.









The boys will miss their Uncle Jack and Auntie Lynne!

Good times...to be continued. :)

So blessed to be a family of four!

Tim and I never thought it would take us twelve years 
to become a family of four. 
But today, we stand amazed at how God has written our story. 
It is a story that points only to Him! 
We are truly so blessed. 
All of the years of waiting were hard, 
and often really painful. 
And yet, we can honestly say today 
that it has all been worth the wait. 
Thank you, Lord, for our two sweet boys...
YOUR two sweet boys.


Coming home was really special! 
Braden, Tim's parents and my parents met us at the airport. 
We were so excited to see all of them...especially our little Braden. 
We didn't know exactly how he was going to react 
when he saw us coming off the concourse. 
We knew he would be excited, 
but nothing could have prepared us for what he did. 
It was the most precious thing to see.
He ran straight to his little brother. 
You may need some tissue for this these. :) 



Here are some other pictures from our homecoming day...

We'll See You Soon

This Thanksgiving we have so much to be thankful for.  
One, is such a loving and supportive church family.  
As you all meet for your annual Thanksgiving Dinner, 
we want to send you this greeting.  
Be home soon with such a wonderful gift from God!

Our last day with the other CCAI families...

We enjoyed a pizza party together and took some "good-bye" photos. 
These are some very special families, and we will miss them! 
Such little cuties! :)
