Popcorn

Gabi is so happy! She is having popcorn for her snack! This is huge, considering she was only able to handle baby food consistency just 5 months ago. Since then she has learned to use new parts of her mouth, chew different textures, and enjoy so many more things. She continues to work on taking small bites and feeding herself independently, but she is gaining in this too. She was thrilled to be able to have this special snack.

Thank you, Show Hope.

We were blessed to receive a generous grant for our adoption from the ministry Show Hope. http://www.showhope.org

Recently, we were invited by Steven Curtis Chapman and his team to come to a concert in Rochester, MN and help promote adoption. The boys and I attended the concert and worked at the Show Hope booth. David and the girls enjoyed staying at the hotel while we were gone. It was a nice family get-a-way.

Night football

David woke the boys up after they had gone to bed (10:30pm) and took them out to play a night game of football under the lights. They had a great time!

Jeremiah is all ready for hunting this year.

Puzzle time.

Gabi got her pants on (sort of) by herself. She also picked out the boots. :)
