Hello World

First I want to thank each of you for your prayers and support. The past couple years (and especially the past few months) have been difficult emotionally for both Kelly and I. But thanks to each of you and a strength that only God can provide we are still standing tall and excited about the journey that God has in store for us.

Let me state first of all for the record that Kelly and I are rookie bloggers. Just like many of you may be rookie blog readers. But our goal is to just have some fun, tell some stories and possibly touch a few hearts along the way. This is a Faithful Journey and we are trusting in God's plan and path for our family. We are excited to have you along for the ride. So let's get started.

Yesterday afternoon we took one of the initial steps in the adoption process. We met with our adoption agency social worker, Christine. She is great. We met with her for two hours in the afternoon while Alison stayed with a babysitter (Jenny) for the first time. I have a feeling there will be a lot of firsts for us along the way so why not start now. Ali had lots of fun with Jenny painting and playing outside. We were so happy. Maybe we should get a sitter more often??
