There is so much anticipation here in my house over Grace's first birthday on 6/8/08. She is turning 10. It looks like we are making a weekend of it. I am humbled so much at how perfectly God has set up things in our lives. On Saturday 6/7th Grace is going to have 4 girlfriends over around 11:30-1. That night we are ALL going to go to the Durham Bulls game with the African Children's Choir. They will sing the national anthem and then we will all sit tdogether in a special section designated just for us. On June 8th we will go to church. After church we will have lunch at the church with the African Childrens choir and the African group at our church. Then we will come home and have dessert with friends.
Grace is so excited. Today there was a party at her school for her. We brought in donuts. All the kids wrote letters to her and the teacher placed it in a book. This week Grace was friend of the week. THe teacher showed videos of Layla House and our montage's. It was an excellent learning experience for the class.
In the meantime, I spent the week getting myself on FACEBOOK ....YES even older people can become members. We set up a page and now I can look at what Sam is doing online...
anyhow..I know that this isn't a very exciting post...but thank God this has been an uneventful week.

I just found your blog and love it! We also have bio children, an adopted daughter from Guatemala, and now hope to adopt an older child from Ethiopia when God sends us the signal to move forward. I think your blog title is so cute! Your children are absolutely beautiful. And.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACE!!!!! Sounds like a lovely celebration planned for her!
Our new daughter is Grace also! :-) I have been following your blog forever and I just realized that! She will be 8 in September. Lord willing, she will be home well before her birthday! Her baby sister just turned 1....Eliana. We are aching to have them home!
Blessings,
Kristy
