Gotcha Day revisited....2 years later!

My good friend, Tina posted this on her blog 2 years ago on our Gotcha Day and I just loved how she phrased her post. Tina is a gifted writer with a heart for Christ and if you haven't stopped by her blog you will be blessed if you do. Thanks Tina for your beautiful words and for sharing in our joy.


Yesterday in the middle of the afternoon . . .

in the middle of the busy Atlanta airport . . .

in the middle of what might have been just another busy day for many . . .


a sweet little two year old boy (escorted) from Korea, lost the title "orphan"....


and gained . . .






the title "son" . . .






and "little brother"!





Caleb Joseph Ho-min . . .





became the newest member of the Gang!







I think he quickly realized that he was in a good place!

To our dear friends (and old neighbors) ~


Robin and Gary,

and their gang . . . Brianna, Nicholas, Hunter and Claire, and Caleb

we rejoice with you!




Welcome home, sweet boy! Welcome home!


Thank you Father God, that you put the lonely in families.


Thank you for bringing Caleb home!


Happy 2nd Gotcha Day, Caleb! 

We love you more than you know!

Claire's fun meet video

Could not figure out the blogger video so I am trying something different.

Our little gymnast!

Claire had her first fun meet this weekend.  It was basically a time to show off what she has been learning in gymnastics.  She has been doing gymnastics for about a year and she absolutely loves it!  She is always ready to go to the gym!  I want to share some cute pictures of our girl and hopefully I can get some video to load too!
Claire and her instructor, Lindsay!

Ready for the bars!  Check out the muscles in her shoulders!


On the balance beam!


Claire is wild about gymnastics!



Medal time!

She is so excited about her t-shirt and medal!


This is Claire marching in with her level....this is so typical Claire...she doesn't walk anywhere!  So full of spunk!
This is Claire on the tumble track...doing a back handspring!

Claire on the floor!

So proud of our gymnastics loving girl!

(Sorry if videos don't show up not sure what is wrong; trying to fix it)
