Happy Valentines Day

This is what I got for Valentines Day:

I arrived home from spinning class this morning to a beautiful bouquet of roses from my sweet husband. The boys made me a wonderful Valentines day breakfast...pancakes and fruit salad..yum yum!!!

Andy got a soy latte from Starbucks and a mushy gushy card slyly left for him on the seat of his car. Zach and Caleb both got donuts with pink frosting and white sprinkles. And our child in Eastern Europe? Well he really lucked out...he got an I-600a form!!!! (A petition for advanced processing of an orphan...filed through Immigration services) It was an expensive gift but he is worth it!! Another big step checked off the list. We have faith that next Valentines day we will be able to give him a donut with pink frosting and white sprinkles instead!!!

We had a fun weekend with our sweet friends Ben and Lin . They came down and stayed with us for two nights. On Saturday we all went down to DC to have lunch and walk around the National Cathedral. I had never been and it was really fun to experience it with the boys.

"I LOVE castles." ~ Caleb

While we were there, Zach lit a candle and we all said a prayer for his brother far away.

Andy got this great picture of the stained glass window...a picture of Paul speaking to Timothy- The words are a perfect fit "From a child thou hast known Holy Scriptures- Timothy."

We can both say with certainty that our process of adopting Timothy has lead us to a greater understanding of God's Word for us.

Loved this picture of Zach and Caleb captivated by the statue of a child:

We continue to be thankful for your overwhelming support of our family through this process. We feel wrapped in your love and prayers!

Happy Valentines Day
