GOTCHA DAY!

Romans8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Eight years ago today, Brian and Amy completed their adoption of their first two children, Isabella and Joshua. Isabella had just turned 6 and Josh had just turned two. It would be a few more days before they arrived home from Ukraine with the kids, and we couldn't wait to meet our GRANDchildren!!

Fast Forward to Today....


Isabella is a beautiful 14-year-old. She is about to embark on her freshman year of high school. She made cheerleader in the spring try-outs and is excited about that. She has a huge heart for God and for ministry and is going on a mission trip this summer. She is a happy, well-adjusted, and precious girl.


Josh, now 10, is all boy! He is smart as a whip~~ an avid reading and a good listener as well. He played softball this spring and had a good season. Josh is going into the 4th grade and has a week of camp to attend this summer.


Yesterday, June 10, was the 6th anniversary of Jarrett's adoption. At age 10, he had a more difficult time of adjusting to his new life in America. He is working hard to catch up on his school work and is growing in the Lord. It's hard to think that he will turn 16 next month.

We thank the Lord for placing these kids in our lives. They have enriched us beyond measure and are a source of so much joy.

I love you Jarrett, Isabella, and Josh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy "Gotcha Day!!!"
