The brutal winter of Charleston, SC

Enjoying one of the warm January winter day in Charleston.  The temperature was in the upper 70's so we decided to head to Kiawah Island for a stroll on the beach.

Somehow a stroll on the beach automatically translates into getting wet, so we've learned to bring the swimming gear and hope they don't get completely soaked - even if the water is in the mid 50's.

What a Year - 2012

So 2012 is officially in the books. It was a full year of obeying, stretching, learning and loving!

In short our year looked like this:

Obeyed - as we pursued adoption

Prayed - that God would provide us a Child

Cried - when we got word that we lost our first adoptive son when birth mom decided to keep her son.

Welcomed -Jeremiah Michael (AKA - Butter Bean)

Loved - Our new family

Prayed - for God to show us what's next

Visited - Charleston

Obeyed -  Got new Job with new company

Cried - when we realized we'd be leaving everything we'd come to rely on and love

Moved - to Charleston

Searched - for a new church

Closed - on our old house in Greenville

Cried - as a family because we were leaving

Visited - with family over the Holidays which refreshed our spirits

Comforted - our son as we prayed with him to make new friends

2013

Anticipating - what God has in store for us
