Six...The new number of our family

We have been so busy that we missed our opportunity to blog yesterday.  This adoption gig keeps us a hoofin'.  Yesterday we went to a shower given to us from Rena's side of the family.  They pulled out all the stops and they done blessed us reeeeeal gooooood.  We are completely blown away at the generosity of people.  This journey has definitely shown us the brighter side of life.  Its got something to do with children/adoption...it brings out the best in people.  We have seen people who are normally calloused just light up when they hear our story/see pictures of the kids.  In a world with alot of ugliness, it is so refreshing to experience God's beauty/joyfulness in people!

Rena and I had a great time shopping this evening.  We used some of our gift cards to purchase some really cute clothes for the little tikes.
