Wednesday, August 27, 2014. Will, Hope and I were talking about Moldova recently. Will said "me no go to Moldova." Hope piped up and said, "Well I'm sure glad I am not there any more. I am thankful that I have a loving…….dog." Yes, I was expecting her to say family also! Hope and her loving dog, Max! Lena and Hope with their new glasses. Will had his first guitar lesson! Lena learned how to swing by herself! Andy putting the kids to work! Tuesday, August 19, 2014. I had no idea anything was bothering him...

Our Adoption Story: July 2014
http://tbirchfield.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 22, 2014. Warning - Lots of Cuteness! The children recently had their pics professionally made by Emily Dudley (who is great by the way). Let me just say that while these pics are great, it took a lot of effort and sweat to get them made! They are amazing children and considering everything, they have adjusted remarkably well. God is giving us a daily bounty of grace, patience and energy. Thank you all for who continue to pray for us! Tuesday, July 8, 2014. Just a quick update and to thank ...

Our Adoption Story: Hope Finishes First Grade!
http://tbirchfield.blogspot.com/2015/05/hope-finishes-first-grade.html
Monday, May 25, 2015. Hope Finishes First Grade! It is hard to believe but Hope finished first grade this past Friday, May 22! Didn't we just bring her home! She did great in school this year learning to read so well. She made a 100 on all of her Bible verses and had all As. She loves her friends and Mrs. Howard and was sad to say goodbye. She has several sweet friends that are moving which made things a little sadder. Sweet friends - Hannah, Hope, Olivia and Mallory. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://tbirchfield.blogspot.com/2015/05/hopes-6th-gotcha-day.html
Saturday, May 23, 2015. Hope's 6th Gotcha Day! On Friday, May 22, we celebrated Hope's 6th Gotcha Day. We released six balloons and treated Hope to her very favorite food - steak! She also had her first grade party at school plus her big sister, Beth, graduated from high school. With all of the celebrating, it was a very special day! I can't even begin to imagine life without Hope (both the word and the little girl)! She has brought so much joy and light into our lives as we have watched her grow! The Ad...

Our Adoption Story: June 2015
http://tbirchfield.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 20, 2015. How can it be? How can Hope be 8 years old? For those of you who know Hope, you know her life is all about animals. In fact, one time I had to seriously ask her if she knew she really WAS NOT a dog! She eats, lives and breaths animals. We are often looking up answers to her animal questions on the internet (I have learned so much actually). This constantly reminds me of God's creativity, because did you know that a narwhal's tooth can grow up to 10 feet! Getting a little fishing ...
