2009

1997…The year I met Drew

1998 The year Drew and I got engaged

1999…The year Drew and I married

2000…The year I became a mom for the first time to my sweet Mackenzie

2003…The year Madison came into our life and brought with her joy and laughter

2007…The year God put a burning desire in our hearts to adopt a daughter from China

2009…The year God answered all of those prayers and Miah Fu Ni became our daughter!


I thought I’d look back on the past year and highlight how the Lord has blessed us, brought us joy, carried us through pain and always continued to be faithful.

March was a bittersweet month as my grandfather went home to be with the Lord. It is still hard to believe that he is gone and never got a chance to meet Miah. She would have made him laugh...

...a week later we received a very important phone call and saw our daughter's face for the first time

April Mackenzie turned 9 and we received Pre-Approval from China to adopt Miah
May Drew and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary
July Drew travelled to China and brought Miah home

August We celebrated Miah's 2nd birthday
September Mackenzie started grade 4 and Madison started Kindergarten

October We celebrated Madison's 6th Birthday!
December Miah had her palate surgery and we celebrated Miah's first Christmas with family and friends.

We look forward to see what God has in store for us in 2010!

Happy New Year!
