2013 The Year of the Snake

 We rang in the new year with our favorite Chinese buddies.  12 families present.  A new addition, sweet baby girl, home just two weeks.  A family anticipating travel in the next 3 weeks.  A family paperchasing.  AND, a family who announced their recent decision to adopt from China via special needs.  To say it was a happy night is an understatement.  We love this group - the children and the adults - and we feel so fortunate to walk this adoption road with each of them!  The bonus, of course, is seeing how God's hand has worked in each of their lives.  His work is amazing!

The night ended with a bang.....some forgotten fireworks were discovered and our yard was sparkling.
