12, 2, and 9

God has blessed our family more in second week of January than in any other week of the year. Three of our five children joined our family in the second week of January.

On Wednesday we celebrated Freeland's 12th birthday.  He is such a sweet, funny boy! We had a very special time celebrating with one of his friends who shares a birthday with him.



And on Thursday we celebrated the 2 year anniversary of meeting Eliana. Last year she really had a hard time right over this time. She regressed in a number of areas and was very clingy and fearful.  But I have not seen any of that this year. It is so sweet and wonderful to watch the healing taking place in our sweet little girl.



Yesterday was Casper's 9th birthday. He was very eager to point out that it is his last year of single digits. We celebrated once more! He is such a precious little man! I reminded him that he is still my baby boy, but he just wrinkled his nose!



How we thank God for each of these children!  They are so different and unique and precious!

P.S. I'll be resuming my photo challenge tomorrow.  The internet was down most of the week, so posting was not an option.

  1. What a great week for your family! We find that adoption anniversaries are rather bittersweet, too. While there is much joy all around there is, also, much fear and other big feelings for the child/ren. We are working to help them process all those emotions ahead of time but it is a long process.
