Soccer Tournament Fun!

It was a beautiful night for soccer last night in more ways than one. . .

After 80 minutes of play - Kings 1 Fairfield 0

Caroline plays for her HS team and has played for the JV team mst of the year. About three weeks ago she was asked to play with the varsity due to injuries. She has made the most of it and had some good playing minutes. So we have played two tournament games and they are onto the sectional finals coming this Tuesday night were they will play the #1 team in the COUNTRY that happens to be not only in our city but in our bracket of the tournament.

Celebrating our big win at Chick-a-fila!

Fun to watch #23 to be announced before the game!

Something Missing???

We've decided that God is telling us that there is something missing in this photo... We believe it's a little girl (daughter and sister) from Ethiopia. YES, we are again on the adoption journey to bring home a little girl from Ethiopia. We are requesting a girl between the age of 1-4 years old. We are also open to a sibling group possibly twins, but we will see how God works in this journey. We have our first home study meeting tomorrow night and we have all the paper work except the home study ready to send into our agency. So we again will start the process of hurrying up to wait! Where we won't always see what is coming around the bend or over the next hill but we are ready to feel the breeze and trust God in this journey. We will keep you posted and take you along for the ride. So bucket your seat belts with us as we await the beginning of this ride!

Ethiopian Culture Camp

In August we had our annual Ethiopian Culture Camp. Due to my mother's health I was unable to attend but my wonderful husband brought the kids. They had a great day of hands on cultural activities and meeting new friends and bonding with old friends!

We had over 150 people attend and were broken into smaller groups to do the hands on stations you see in pictures below. If you are interested in helping for next year we could spread the wealth and would LOVE to have you.
