This sweet family has two new additions since I took their family photo last fall! Twins C & C were adopted from Russia, and this already gorgeous family looks all the better with these littlest guys in the picture! Here’s the slideshow!

La Familia Mestas
So a few weeks ago, before our vacation, we had our yearly family photo…which is often the most tricky shoot of the year. It’s usually at least 10 people, most of them under ten, plus dogs, and we have to be in front of and behind the camera! So this year, for the big group...
A week of miracles!
Okay, I totally wish I had three hours to write out the whole story of God’s faithfulness to this young man, Solomon, but unfortunately, I do not. I have mentioned him over the last couple months here on my blog, but again, the whole whole story is amazing, and more of it can be found...
The Van Pelt Family!
I first met the Van Pelts at the Ethiopian Dinner Extravaganza and had a wonderful time getting to know them better recently at the Raleigh Rose Garden, where we mostly chased little man Ross around and tried to snap a few pictures. What an adorable little man. Check out their slideshow HERE.

So it comes as no surprise that I did not hesitate when I was asked to shoot an Ethiopian Dinner graciously put on by an Ethiopian couple in honor of both longtime customers of Tenu’s delicious Ethiopian foods, and families who’ve adopted...
Update on Solomon
Thank you for all your prayers, I keep forgetting to update about Solomon, who I blogged about here. I have copied this from my mom’s blog which she posted last week: Southeastern College called this evening with the great news. Solomon’s TOEFL exam results have arrived and he is in!! They now prepare the I-20...
A boy in Africa…
What a wacky last month or so– earthquakes of huge magnitudes rocked Haiti, Chile, Argentina leaving tsunami threats in their wake…it’s hard to fathom all this suffering. And yet, I am reminded that these are the “birth pains” that foretell of the return of the king who will make all things new again. It’s so...
Three Years.
About three years ago, my parents and my sister felt that their desire to adopt again was to be redirected from China to Ethiopia. Long story short, it was two days later that their youngest daughters were born across the world in Addis Ababa. Their protective older brother was two and a half at the...
