Anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf welcomes me and any one who welcomes me welcomes my Father who sent me.

She also has lots of great friends. What a blessing she is!!!
Nathan:
Nathan is 8 years old. He is excited Sophie is here. He is the one who can get a smile and a giggle. Sophie thinks he is great. He has a great sense of humor that often has us laughing. He is doing great in his second grade class. But is looking forward to Summer. He loves to sing, and play with the PlayStation3 lego games. He is a great kid.
Sophie:
Her arrival to our family has been something above and beyond what we could have ever hoped for. She has moved into our family easily and smiles and giggles often. She has learned so much in such a short time. One thing that has happened that we never dreamed was getting to be a part of so many firsts for her. We have seen her first teeth come in. We got to see her turn over for the first time and she is almost sitting up on her own. How precious God is to give us this unexpected givt.
