ETHIOPIAN ADOPTION
ONE YEAR LATER
Believe it or not, it has been exactly one year to the day since Arron and I brought the four girls (sisters) back to Missouri from Ethiopia. It has been an amazing year on all fronts! Addie and Grace are truly gifts from God. They are more than what Amy and I would have asked for if God had simply told us to make a list. The girls are smart, polite, athletic (good soccer players), hard workers, and fun-loving. They also love God. We couldn't imagine life without them as part of our family.
