Brian, Christine, & Our Boys

Irving Berlin's "Count Your Blessings Instead of Sheep" captures our feelings about family and adoption. We spent years praying for our family. Many nights were spent "counting sheep" rather than consider the blessings we were given. The lyrics “I think about a nursery- if you're worried, can't sleep count blessings instead of sheep” Children have been withheld for a time, but hope cometh of faith. We will find our missing family members.

Christmas Eve

A few years ago we started a tradition with my parents to have dinner at the Roof on Christmas Eve.
My mom and I love the setting and the opportunity to slow things down a bit, have a nice dinner with the temple in the background. It's heavenly. C had a great time eating shrimp, ham, prime rib. Baby J felt like a big boy in his high chair. BAJA couldn't get enough of the Christmas lights and kept imagining how the lights were built. He loved that we were s tall as the temple.
Later we wandered around and recounted the Christmas story. Still even later we met with Brian's family for the ornament exchange and pajamas from Nana.
