She was five months old the first time we held her.

It broke my heart to leave Guatemala after that visit, so hubby sent me back for a second visit when she was 8 month old.

My water-loving girl

Like I said, she loved snorkeling.
This girl loves the water, the sand, the casting and reeling

Is now 10!!! Double-digits!!!!


There are not enough adjectives in the world to describe this beautiful young lady who has changed our lives in more ways than we ever imagined.

Happy Birthday Liliana!!!!

Daddy and I love to more than words can express.

Happy Father’s Birthday

It was a double celebration for our family today as we celebrated my hubby on Father’s Day and our baby girl Naomi who turned 5 today.

We celebrated with a trip to Indianapolis where we indulged in some wonderful Ethiopian food and a trip to the Indianapolis Zoo.

My intent was to write a marvelous blog post about how wonderful of a father my children have followed by all the things that make Naomi awesome.  However, after a day at the zoo and then travel home, my time is limited.

Instead I’ll keep this short by saying Happy Father’s Day to my hubby who truly is an amazing father and Happy Birthday to Naomi who is awesome in so many amazing ways.

She just loves Science. Maybe she'll be astronaut some day.
