Happy Birthday sweet boy.

Well, what an awesome day yesterday was.

We were given the tremendous honor of celebrating Logan's 7th birthday with him finally home! It was one of those times were I tried not to get caught up in all that we missed in those 6 1/2 years, but enjoy the moments we have.

I also found myself thinking of his birth parents a lot this week. I pray that some how they have a sense of peace, that some how they can feel how much we love Logan. How brave he has been these past few months...leaving all that he knew and trusting these total strangers enough to come home with us and begin a new life.

Everyday he opens up more and more. He is happy, healthy, outgoing and so smart. He lights up a room with his smile and easy going personality. He is so full of promise, he masters anything he sets out to do.

As we continue to settle into our new family dynamics, it is so evident that God created this child to be ours.

Happy Birthday little man. We love you!

Birthday boy!

Crazy train!






Hey there!

We are riding the crazy train down here.

With school in full swing, guitar,lacrosse,gymnastics and laundry....i am just holding on tight in this wild ride.

We are all doing great though, just enjoying life in between hurricanes. School is going great for the kids now that those first day jitters are gone.

I am counting my many, many blessing these past few weeks as friend's of ours are dealing with the unthinkable...the passing of their little girl, Anna. We had the privilege of traveling with Anna's parents in June, to China to bring her home when we brought home Logan.

My heart is broken for them. They did not have much time with their daughter here, but they are trusting in the truth that they will be together for eternity some day.

So, with that heavy on my heart this week...I just want to post some pictures of my babies and try and savor each day we are all given.

Love,
Claire
