August 8th is approaching fast!  It will mark our 3rd 'Gotcha Day'! Three years for our beautiful daughters to be home!  They are learning and growing in ways that only God could have imagined.  We are truly thankful to have such sweet, considerate, God-loving girls that we have the awesome privilege to call daughters. 

This year Anya is learning to drive.  She is such a careful driver.  She got her first car, 2001 Chevy Blazer.  I have never seen her so excited!  We have finished the parent observation.  Now we just need to practice a bit more parallel parking and we are off to get her license.  Oh the road to freedom!

Anya went this summer to Arlington, TX, about 20 minutes from home, on a mission trip.  They stayed at Fielder Rd Baptist Church and did VBS at low income housing apartments.  She loved it!  She is a very hard worker and loves kids. Such a blessing!

Both girls went to Waco for youth camp.  They came back pumped and ready to quit being a mediocre Christian.  They loved the worship music and it's so awesome when they put the car radio on a Christian radio station!

Tanya started playing softball with our co-ed church team.  She is our little slugger....or should i say walker.  Pitchers have a tough time pitching to her.  Either it's her stunning good looks or her sweet little height that throws them off.  Anya joined the third session after watching Tanya Play. It's a blast to watch them play. They are both looking forward to soccer season starting in the fall!

Please continue to pray for us.  Life throws us some curve balls at times but God is the greatest batter of all time!  We praise HIM!
