HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY PRINCESS!

Today we celebrated our baby girl's 2nd birthday. What a blessing to be able to share another birthday with her. Friends of ours invited us to the Please Touch Museum and we couldn't have thought of a better way to celebrate her day than a day where she can be herself! Happy Birthday Princess! You bring so much joy to our lives and we love you to the the moon, stars, heaven and back!

Rachel's birthmother will be in my prayers tonight. I'm so glad God spoke to her heart to give Rachel life so that we can be Rachel's parents! I will always have a special place in my heart for this woman and I pray that God will give her peace in her heart.

2009 SUMMER BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS - THE DRAGONS

What a phenomenal season The Dragons had. With only one loss the whole season, the Dragons secured the Championship position. This was Jake's first time really playing in a competitive basketball league and from the way he played, he truly enjoyed it. This was the first season for this summer basketball league and you could sign up as a whole team or as an individual player. The Dragons was formed into a team with all individual players who have never played together before. Our team beat teams that have played together for years. It was one of the most exciting seasons I have ever witnessed since Jake started playing sports. With only one loss, we secured a position in the championship game. What another exciting game to watch. The Dragons were down by 10 points at one point and we came back with only 2 points between the two teams With seconds left, Jake scored a basket to tie the game! What incredible team work we witnessed in a 3 minute overtime. The Dragons won the Championship by only 4 points. Both teams did an unbelievable job, not to mention put on a great show! I think Jake found his new favorite sport!
