We Love Our Church



We are so blessed to be a part of Mt. Pleasant church and are grateful for each individual who is investing in the life of our precious Olivia. Church is one of Olivia's favorite places to be...her favorite is with nana and papa in Asheville. This past Sunday she sang with the Cherub Choir. They sang "When I Was a Little Fish" and "Swing Low Sweet Chariot". She is quite the little singer. At home she sings from sun up until sun down! I never grow tired of hearing her expressions of love and happiness as she sings throughout the day.

Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth!
Worship the Lord with gladness.
Come before him, singing with joy.
Acknowledge that the Lord is God!
He made us, and we are his.
We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good.
His unfailing love continues forever,
and his faithfulness continues to each generation.
Psalm 100

Happy Gotcha Day!





April 4th we celebrated "Gotcha Day" ~ the day we got Olivia. One of our traditions is to give her a gift we purchased for her in China. This year she received a purse and a beautiful painting for her room. Daddy celebrated from afar...he is in China!

It's hard to believe we have been a forever family for 3 years. Olivia has changed our lives in ways we never imagined. She brings wonder, beauty and joy to every day. With grateful hearts we praise God who ordained her to be ours before the beginning of time.

Happy Gotcha Day Baby Girl! Daddy and mommy love you!
