merry christmas!

for those that didn't receive it - this was our christmas card picture - i love it!

and the card said (in, like, the most miniscule font because i was doing it at midnight and just wanted it DONE!):

Our family grew this year!!!

We ALL grew in our love and strength and patience

and endurance as most of us traveled to Rwanda

to bring Lincoln and Levi home to our family

and as we adjusted (and are still adjusting!)

to being a family of 8.

God has been faithful...in every moment.

His grace has been lavished on us and we are thankful.
