Valentine's 2009'

"It stands in the garden border
So elegant and tall,
The lovely yellow sunflower,
The happiest flower of all.
It loves to hold its head high
Towards the Heavens above,
For it knows that God is watching
And tending it with love.
A lesson can be learned
From this gracious yellow flower,
It doesn't question how it grows
But trusts God's wondrous powers."
Marian Jones

Thanks Dean-o for the beautiful bouquet of flowers. I love sunflowers, they make me feel so happy and warm, just like you do! I think this poem is a great combination of the two of us, how fitting, a beautiful yellow flower!Happy Valentines Day!

Ethiopian Christmas Party, 2009

We had over 100 people this year at our 2nd Annual Ethiopian Christmas Celebration. People brought tasty dishes like injera and doro wat. It was a wonderful party topped off with Ethipian Dancers that absolutely won the hearts of the kids right over. It was so beautiful and brought back so many wonderful memories of Ethiopia for us. I can't believe how many new families we had this year! How wonderful for our children to grow up with so many other Ethiopia children & families! Thanks Nate for the photos.....And especially to Rachel for being so gracious to host our party!

There is no greater gift than to see the rippling effect of a Mother's love for her children!
