CHRISTMAS 2008













































What a Day Christmas was here. The children awoke to a new big brother under the tree and a happy to be home mom and dad. I was up all night trying to get everything drug out and our suitcases stashed away and gifts we bought in China found and wrapped. Thank you GB for making sure we had cookies carrots and milk for Santa and his reindeer, He said they were very good as she was very hungry!!!!! Zac slept through the first round of merry making and I woke him up before my dad came over to deliver presents to the kids. He didn't understand what Zoe and Zeb were giving him until Zoe tore the paper on 1 of the gifts and the light bulb went off. That was all she wrote. I'm not sure my house will ever recover from the double wammy of Christmas and moving the family back into the house all at the same time. I am trying to find order again so don't look at the dust on the furniture I am a clean freak to say the least! This was the best Christmas to date. We almost didn't make it home and I am thanking GOD for the priveledge to have been home with all 3 of my kids and spending the day just being with them and dosing to the sound of laughter and power tools and trucks running all over the house. The adoption of Zac has been such a miracle and when I get my head clear and some much needed sleep for everyone I will sit down and tell the whole story now that it is safe to tell it all. God said he'd lay out the entire path to Zachariah and while many times when things were falling apart I wondered just how we would ever get there and at the end just before travel I wondered some more, but it has all been perfect and you can see the fingerprints of GOD all over it all. There is no mistaking who guided our way. Will we do this again? If GOD says go we will be obedient to his call. OK better run the Z team is waking up! We Love you all!!!!!
Happy New Year!

Looks like a wonderful, chaotic and FUN, FUN, FUN, Christmas! I see you have a Hannah Montana fan in your house too! Sammie wants a H.M. Birthday Party this year, but I'm not sure about that yet - her b-day stuff just does not look like it is for a 5 year old, but we shall see. I may just send our the invites of Hannah and then just do the color theme - who knows. Any ways, welcome home again. Life as you knew it before will never be the same again! Hugs to the Z Team!
