We spent the evening at a parade for homecoming. It was a lot of fun. The parade consisted of High School kids who participate in something at school this fall. They threw lots of candy to Ri and Elizabeth, so they loved every minute. We then marched to the "bonfire" - which really was just some very strong lights. The insurance company would not allow a bonfire. Then all seniors who participate in a sport this sesaon were announced, followed by the announcing of the homecoming court. Erin was escorted by a very dear friend. They have known each other since we moved to Mt. Vernon. The pictures I took are not great quality. The lighting made it very difficult to focus on the kids. But, here they are anyways. Hey - I had to include my boy in this! He participated in the marching band. Here he is with one of his very best friends. They have been close since kindergarten.
God has entrusted us with the awesome task of raising 6 precious treasures. We pray that they each will be raised in the fear and admonition of the Lord. God chose to bless us with 4 children through natural birth and 2 through the gift of adoption. We have put together a movie of the precious "births" of our little ones from China. You can click on any of the videos on the video bar below to get to you tube and then find just click on the video entitled: Gotcha Day for Elizabeth and Ri.
Despite my choices in life, despite that I wasn't seeking God, despite that I was living a life far from the one who created me.... He chose to save me.
He has given me a husband that is far better then one I ever dreamed of, blessed me with 6 amazing children, a roof over our heads, food on our plates, friends and family who love me no matter what. I have been saved by grace and grace alone.
