“God is Good All The Time & All The Time God Is Good”

2017 Was Incredible!

Welcome to Lucas’s Update Post,

Lucas is doing incredibly well. It is so hard to believe that he has only been a part of our family for a little over six months as it feels like he has been with us so much longer. We are so blessed to have him be part of “Team Pancoast” as we find ourselves being referred to lately.

There are entirely too many things to share so we will do a picture journal to give you an idea what the remainder of 2017 looked like with Lucas. Meanwhile, we are planning a trip back to China in June 2018 for the family to experience China together. We will all be going as part of a Legacy Tour with the CCCWA & Great Wall China Adoption except for David who will be headed for Basic for the Marines and will not be going with us. So for those who were sad to see this blog come to a close, stay tuned and we will start a heritage trip blog in a few months.

So grab a cup of tea (or whatever your favorite hot beverage is) and enjoy the pictures of so very many firsts for Lucas…
