Merry Christmas 2014

                                         

Our life changed so quickly ten months ago, sometimes it seems like we're still catching up! March 8, 2014 will be a day that our family will always remember. Even as I write about it, it still doesn't seem real. 

And whenever I have tried to sit down to write a thank you card or track down all the ways that Kara's homecoming was made possible, I am overwhelmed by God's goodness. 

That's why for nine months, there have been no thank-you cards or blogs written. There's just no way to really express what it has meant to our family to have been gifted with prayers, financial support, gifts, and encouragement. Over the course of our adoption journey, we have been given financial gifts from dear friends, family and strangers, and we were prayed for every step of the way. We felt them! When we got Kara (with less than 48 hours notice), we were flooded with donations of restaurant and gas gift cards, meals, and clothes when we traveled back and forth between home and the NICU. When we got home, meals were prepared for us, last minute items were given, our house was cleaned- the support we received was overwhelming to say the least! There were about 50 women at Kara's baby shower! I was so overcome with how many gifts there were to open in front of so many people, I kept my niece Seble nearby as a buffer!

So we want to thank you.We won't even know this side of glory all the marvelous ways that God moved mountains to bring our daughter to us! Thank you for being a part of it.
