“May he
grant your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans. May
we shout for joy when we hear of your victory, flying
banners to honor our God. May the LORD answer all your
prayers. ” Psalm 20:4-5

Matt
is a man of many talents. He has been given a gift
for music and for people. He works as a physician in
our community and his patients adore him. He plays
several instruments and sings for the praise team at
our church. He is the fun guy of the family and the
kids can’t get enough of “tackle” with Daddy. He
loves (almost) everything sports related and would
pack us all up and move to the mountains if Mama
said yes. So far she hasn’t so we live on flat land!
He is an amazing example of Grace, compassion,
strength, and humility for his children. Hannah is
one blessed girl to have a Daddy like Matt! |

Sara is a full-time
mom and has recently put her “other” job as a
Pediatric Nurse Practitioner on hold to stay home
with her family. She loves her family and enjoys
taking care of them. She would love to say that she
enjoys exercising but really she just does it to be
healthy! She enjoys sewing and has been working on
Hannah’s 100 Good Wishes Quilt. She is active in the
Children’s Ministry at church and acts as chauffeur,
chef, nurse, and referee when needed. She is the
family “adoption specialist” spending WAY too much
time researching myadoptionwebsites for information
from other families!! |
Hollyn, our beautiful
5 year old (almost 6 year old) princess has been a
blessing to us. She is kind, silly, funny, and so
smart. She loves all things girly and has had
interests in ballet, jazz, gymnastics, and had a
brief stint in soccer where she determined that
picking the flowers was more fun…I agree. She had a
major role in naming Hannah and is extremely excited
about sharing a room with her baby sister. She is
taking her role as “big sister” quite seriously and
is practicing on her younger brother. She calms my
fears about taking care of three kids by telling me
that I can take care of Noah and she will take care
of Hannah. She is a good friend and an amazing
daughter.
“The
Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He
will take great delight in you, he will quiet you
with his love, he will rejoice over you with
singing.”
Zephaniah 3:17 |
Noah is our three
year old “all boy.” He is much of the entertainment
around our house with his funny facial expressions
and silliness. Sometimes we find ourselves watching
“The Noah Show” and all laughing. He loves cars and
trucks and collecting treasures. He is a sweet,
caring, funny boy and has enriched our lives
tremendously. He knows who Hannah is but hasn’t
quite grasped that she will be permanent and will be
his sister. We expect he will be “curious” to see
this small person who will be assuming his role as
“baby” in the family. Should be interesting
“I
pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
may have power… to grasp how wide and long and high
and deep is the love of Christ…that you may be
filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”
Ephesians 3:17-19 |

Gracie is our
sweet, hyper, always wanting attention black lab.
She joined our family last summer and her name
definitely fits her. We found this gorgeous dog at a
shelter after she was found walking the streets of a
very busy metropolitan city. She has been a great
addition to our family. |
“Did you know right from the start
when you first held me in your arms that you would always
hold my heart?”
