Simple joys in a crazy world. We're trying to remember to enjoy the simple joys that God gives to us every day. We went hiking with the kids last week on a glorious, fall day...how refreshing to admire the beauty that God has made. Being out in nature fills up something deep inside of me! We've also started a Monday night family ritual of a campfire & smores after dinner! We laugh together, think of family memories and sometimes, sometimes my husband sings for us:) Then, the kids play on the hammock or trampoline in the dark...usually no one gets hurt! It's just peaceful to be together. I'm so grateful to God for all that He has given us.
We're anxiously waiting for news on "B"...we were hoping for some pics of her from a family who is in Ethiopia now getting their precious baby, but their blog today said they weren't allowed to take pics of the orphans. It's disappointing, but I know that soon, by God's grace, we will be traveling ourselves to get our daughter! Thank you to all of you who are praying for her!

You all are doing great hanging in there. I love your Monday night family ritual! Sounds like a lot of fun!
Love and prayers to you during your wait. Praying for that call soon. We can't wait to meet sweet Miss BHK.
How blessed we have been...even in sorrows of loss and confusion over the past couple of months, he reminds us of his never ending love with majestic days of beautiful trees and wonderful weather. Great family time around a fire creating memories in a safe place we call home!
Love, Kelly
