Only One year

Today is the day we first met Anastasia and Paul last year. I almost forgot because it seems so much longer than a year. We love them so much! They have blessed our family more than words can say.

Here is the video I made of their adoption--our first meeting-- I still get goosebumps watching it.


They are such a testimony to God's love, redemption, and faithfulness. I love how much them being a part of our family has enriched our lives for the better.

Their transformations have been incredible to watch. A year ago, Anastasia was singing this but now you'll find her rocking out to this. A year ago she would barely smile, and now she is the happiest, loving girl in the world! She was scared of our dogs, scared to swim, and I even thought scared to eat. Fast forward a year and she is the exact opposite. And look at Paul. He too was scared and quiet and now he has turned into this outgoing boy well liked by everyone! He could hardly do simple addition facts and now he is learning multiplication.

Just think what they'll be doing a year from now!
