PawPaw and Grandmommie Visit


PawPaw and Kathlena playing with leaves.





Andrew working hard learning to shoot a bow
like his big brother and Daddy.

Andrew "teaching" Grandmommie how to hold
the bow and arrow to shoot it.

Kathlena stuck pretty close to PawPaw.

Everybody on the trampoline!




We had a great weekend with grandparents visiting. Andrew and Kathlena got to spend some time getting to know David's parents. I am again reminded that it seems like Andrew and Kathlena have always been with us. They both just adore their PawPaw and Grandmommie and we are so thankful to have two sets of loving grandparents who are so accepting and supportive of our adoption.

This was the first time that PawPaw and Grandmommie have really had a chance to see Andrew and Kathlena one on one with us. Andrew was born on PawPaw's birthday and also seems to be left handed like his PawPaw. It was a great time for them to see their little personalities and begin building grandparent relationships. I know it has been hard for grandparents being so far away and not able to stop by to see them, but we are seeing so much progress with both of them attaching to their new home and family. How grateful we are to our families understanding that this process is different and loving us enough to patiently help us through this season of the process too. Much grace has abounded for us all during this process and the Lord is faithful to continue to give us the grace to persevere and trust Him with everyday.


Thanks again Emily for capturing these memories on film err...pixels for us.
