Pictures




Well, I thought that I would post a few pictures of just odds and ends that have been taken lately. One is of Josie's new hair style that I tried. She is so good to let me try new hair styles. As long as beads are involved she loves it. She always says, "They are beautiful". So it may not been the best, but I am learning.
The other picture is of Steven that I took. I went to check on him and Thomas in the middle of the night and they had their bedroom light on and this is how I found Steven. That is Josie's eye mask that she got with her tent for Christmas. The boys tease her and put it on and walk around the house. Well, they left it in their room and Thomas must have wanted the light on and Steven was ready for bed. I am sure that when Steven is 16 he will really appreciate this picture:) And the last one is of the three of them at the dining room table. Whenever one is doing something and the other two want to watch what is going on, that picture truly shows how they look together. Josie usually ends up on the table and other two looking intently on what is going on. I know some people would not let their child sit on the table, but when they are that interested in what each other is doing we don't say anything. The memory of the three of them looking like that together is worth it. By the way it isn't that cold in the house that Steven had to wear his winter hat, it was a Christmas gift and he had it on:):)

Hey Andrea. Been reading your posts on the Liberian loop. I love your heart! My husband and I have the same heart for adoption. God Bless! Sonya

thanks sonya,
I have always had a special place for older kids, in fact we are praying about our daughter's 10 year old sister. We are praying in regards to adoption. I just always think that the older ones can't help their age and always think that no one wants them because of their age. Thanks for the response. I have read your blog a lot. Your boys sound so interesting. Your oldest liberian son reminds me of our 8 year old from Liberia, he loves soccer and is always playing in some way (ie, little figures play, even sorting blocks and putting them on soccer teams to play against each other).

God has a place for all of these children.

I am so thankful that God hasn't given up on me.

Andrea
