She's TWO!

The b-day girl. She's sweet, funny, spunky, strong and smart! She loves books, baths, airplanes, rice, noodles, vegetables, flashlights, and shoes. One her favorite things to do is to make other people laugh. We love everything about her, and are so glad God entrusted her to us. :)










It can be hard (at times) for 4 siblings to share Daddy. But who says you have to?



So, now the kids are 3, 2, 2, and 1. And they are enjoying each other very much. Adopting 2 at once was really a great way to go for us.

Questions locals often ask us about our kids....

Are those two (Aubrey and Zac) twins? (They are only 3 weeks apart, but these people are looking at the two of them when they ask this.....)

When they are older, will you tell the black kids they were adopted?

They sleep in a bed by themselves?!!!!

Which of the 4 is your favorite?

Are those curls natural?

The Africans can speak Chinese??! (when Z says "Mama")

So, you adopted so you could have a son, since you are only able to bear girls?

You take care of all of them by yourselves? (In their minds, taking care of more than one kid is impossible, or at least crazy.)

All these questions amuse us greatly, and Scott has come up with some great answers (as those of you who know him can imagine). The random questions are as common as they are amusing. We've chalked it up to lack of observation about genetic-outworking of skin colors in a land where everyone has exactly the same skin pigment.

Lots of fun, and starting to be.... normal.
