Our girl has been learning so much so quickly. We are really working on numbers and colors with her right now. She is coming out of her shell around the other adoptive families and seems to become more confident everyday. She has just turned into a beautiful little girl right before our eyes. Her face has a glow about her that she didn't have before and she just seems so genuinely happy. I am so thankful that we are part of God's plan for Ava's life, We are truly blessed.
Happy 4th of July to all of you back home. We are thankful for our country and miss the traditions of this Holiday. We are having a burger day with our American friends who live here and if the weather is nice, we'll go to the beach. Wahoo!!!!
Today:
1 John 4:4 "...The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."
1 John 3:20 "For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything."
John 13:16 "I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him."
Yesterday:
Yesterday:
2 Chronicles 32:7 "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him."
Psalm 135:5 "I know that the LORD is great, that our Lord is greater than all gods."
John 3:30 "He must become greater; I must become less."
Yes, God is Greater!

Happy 4th ~ I'm praying that you also will soon be enjoying your own personal independence from the baby home when you have Ava with you full time. Love you all. Mom
P.S. Enjoy your burgers and hopefully the beach.
Beautiful pictures. We are all missing you guys on this holiday weekend. Words can not express how thankful I am for friends like you, and the blessing you have been in my life. I can't wait Sawyer to meet his new best friend Ava. Know that if they are half as blessed by each other as you have to me, then they will have all they need! Praying, and longing to see you all!
