High School Graduation for THREE! June 2014

We started off June with three to graduate. Sarah, the daughter of missionary friends of ours who had lived with us all year graduated with flying colors and Edith our daughter graduated with a show of glory and Graham's girlfriend Chelsea graduated with honors.

Meet EDITH, our New Daughter!

We all greeted Edith at the Airport in Chico
Allenni is so happy! Can you tell?
I think Eli loves the camera
My friend Hedda and I finally got to see each other in The STATES, she flew her out her.

Well, in September, of this year, God surprised us with a daughter! This was the fastest childbearing activity in our marriage!!! We found out, and she was with us in 3 days! We are so blessed to have Edith in our home. She is 17 and came to us via NC from Uganda! Of course Allenni was delighted that another girl was here and Andrew really likes that she is from Uganda. We think she is a perfect fit for this family. Sometimes we don't understand the pathways to things but must embrace them with not our strength but God's. Learning how to do that can be challenging at times. God is always faithful to answer those cries for help when we need it.
