Here are some pictures of my great Niece Lily on her 2nd birthday. She is so cute and funny.

FUN WITH THE WAHLS

Linda and Stephen went to the Philippians on vacation two years ago and leaned this song in the church they visited. Linda, Joy, Melody, Elsie, Martha and Joys' friend Aubry had a blast singing this song!! Jessa and Honey thought they were hilarious! I hope this turns out!

New Additions to our family

My In-Laws adopted three children from the Philippians. JL is 8, Jessa is 4 and Honey is 3. They are quite the hand full. They are fun loving and happy but very curious! They basically spent the last year or so in an orphanage so coming to America has been a real eye opener! They are learning English quickly. Linda and Stephen have 5 children of their own and now they have 8! The kids absolutely adore their new Mama and Papa. JL follows Stephen around like a puppy! They live in Tok but will soon move to Palmer! It has been 50 to 60 below in Tok where we are warmer at 45 to 55 below!
I am personally tired of the cold!! I dream of 70 degree weather!! Florida or Hawaii sounds magical!!
God has been very faithful to us this year!
The kids are doing great! Joy is a senior, she wants to go to college to be a school teacher. Andy is 15 and is a nice kid, I rely on him for a lot!!! Melody is 13 and loves to cook! And Joshua is 9 and he loves to play video games and is just now starting to like school. It probably helped that he was housebound by the extremely cold temperatures and was getting cabin fever!! :-)
