Naomi's 4th Birthday at Maria's Big House of Hope :)

Happy 4th Birthday to Naomi! 





We had a wonderful day at Maria's Big House of Hope.  It truly is a magical place.  You can feel love as soon as you walk in the doors.  Naomi's sweet pre-school teacher, Rebecca, made her a brownie cake & threw her a little party :)  





She is precious & loves the children so much.  We are thankful for her.









Not many words tonight, as we are not feeling well.  Please remember us in your prayers.  I started feeling bad yesterday.  I thought the smoke & smog were getting to me.  I've sneezed at least 1000 times.  I'm congested & just achy.  Tonight, Loden began running a fever.  He's congested & achy too.  We are taking it easy tomorrow with another free day.  Praying we feel better before we have to fly to Guangzhou on Sunday!  Thank you again for all the sweet comments! We are reading them all & are so thankful for each one of you!!

  3. Jennifer and Kevin, I feel as though I have been on this amazing journey with you! Thank you for sharing your life with us. I am so happy for all of you. I can see the love all of you have for your daughter. She is one blessed little girl to have such a wonderful family. I pray for you all each night and will continue to pray that all of you feel better so that you can keep doing what you need to do to bring Naomi home to her new life. I know God is watching over you and, Kevin, I know your Dad is smiling as he is watching all of you. I love all of you.
