We try to update this blog often. It began January 2010 prior to bringing Blen home from Ethiopia. We posted daily while in Africa, the weeks & months following her arrival, and now our life as a family growing together. We have no idea what God has in store for us, but hope to continue sharing special moments with you.

Blen is 2!
Blen turned two years old yesterday! Daddy, Joel, Blen & I celebrated with a picnic at Millenium park. We chased seagulls - Blen would spot one, then ask: "Ready?" & we'd run until the gull had a narrow escape. repeat. repeat. This activity brought Blen & I to the splash pad where she fearlessly ran through water tunnels and waited for large buckets of water to fill and spill to the ground. Luckily the water never poured directly on her head, while she's fearless, 23lbs isn't much to withstand that torrent!
We ended the evening at home eating cake with our neighbors, Mary(7), Alan(3), Timmy(1.5), & Makenna(9). Blen's cake was covered with her favorite treat, fruit snacks.
She also celebrate in style this past Sunday with her cousin Brandon who turned 8. The whole family was there & Boompa led the singing. Blen blew out all candles & after two re-lights, Brandon held her back so he could blow & make his wish.
Thank you, El Shaddai, for this precious gift to us.
Happy Birthday, sweet girl. And many more...
