"... we are always harking back to some occasion which seemed to us to reach perfection, setting that up as a norm, and depreciating all other occasions by comparison. But these other occasions, I now suspect, are often full of their own new blessing, if only we would lay ourselves open to it. " (C. S. Lewis)

~ When God Gives You Forever




Nine years ago today, God gave us an incredible double blessing.



Our twins were eight months old when they arrived from South Korea.


They were born eight weeks premature and weighed only 3 pounds each.

Much to our surprise, they were not tiny when they arrived.


They are identical twins.


After eight hours in a hotel that first night, we could tell their cries apart, and they would turn to our voices at breakfast the next morning.


I believe God had already begun knitting our hearts together.


We became a family that first day at the airport, but God determined it to be so before the foundation of the world.



Happy Family Day Ellis and Aidan! We love you and we love being your forever family!
