Books, Songs, and Smiles

Congratulations to Malia's Battle of the Books team, who won the county competition yesterday!




Also, a big congratulations goes out to Ashton, the lead singer of the Young Men's Ensemble, which received a superior rating at the Junior High Solo and Ensemble Contest held this past weekend in Minster, Ohio.

Mr. Q is proud of his big brother and sister for their accomplishments! Great job, guys!

Recent Happenings...

AGCI's president recently traveled to Ethiopia, where she met Berhe, one of our sponsored children. She sent me this photo. It's so good to see his smiling face again! Berhe is now attending college.

 A friend who lives in Gambella, Ethiopia recently posted this photo of Anuak boys dancing. It's so interesting to think about the life that Jalen and Jordan would be leading if they still lived there. We just booked our tickets to Ethiopia for this summer, and are excited about taking the twins to Gambella so they can experience their birth culture.

This is us!

Malia had a part in the high school musical, The Wizard of Oz, this past weekend. Everyone did a fabulous job!

A new niece/cousin was born! Savannah Grace came into the world on her sister Zoey's birthday!




This is a common sight around our house as Shana contemplates/plans her senior trip for next year...

I have a wonderful husband who loves to buy me flowers "just because." :)

Milestones

On Saturday, Adrian got his permit! We now have 2 teenage drivers in the house.

Last night, Shana was inducted into the National Honor Society.



My kids are definitely growing up! Quicker than I would like, sometimes, but God is good!
