A little bit of autumn in Fort Worth

Here in North Texas we do not typically get the leaves turning beautiful fall colors.

Oh Grow Up People!!

As Kelly and I were driving to church last Sunday we noticed that several McCain/Palin signs had been marred by Obama supporters. Come on people GROW UP!! I know that this kind of thing is happening all over the US where both sides are resorting to this type of childish behavior and it is probably not the first time in a presidential election a lawn sign has been vandalized, but come on, can we be just a little bit more civilized. I did like one home owners response to the vandalism to his sign. It sums it up pretty short and sweet.



NICELY PUT! I wonder if this will ever happen?

The art of screaming silently

WRECK 'EM TECH!!! Wow, did ya'll see Tech BEAT the formerly #1 ranked UT Longhorns last night? Kelly and I perfected the art of screaming with joy silently last night with 1 second left on the clock as Crabtree juked out a UT freshman cornerback on the sideline to run in the game winning touchdown. We were jumping up and down wildly like madmen, throwing our arms up in the air, with our mouths wide open but no sound coming out for fear we would wake up our girls. I DON'T THINK I WILL GET TIRED OF WATCHING THIS!

FALL FESTIVAl - we had a wonderful night of games and trick or treating.

Early Picture of Rebekah

There is the wonderful organization that is working in many Chinese orphanages, Love Without Boundaries. LWB assists in education, medical, nutrition, foster care, and much more. We were very lucky that LWB was actively working in the XiuShan Social Welfare Institute where Rebekah was living before we adopted her. Another service they offer is giving adoptive families additional information or photos about their child. I stumbled upon their website accidentally after we received our referral and just recently submitted a form to receive additional information. What they were able to send me was this photo they believe was taken about 1 month before Gotcha Day. There is no doubt that this is Rebekah.

Please check out their website www.lovewithoutboundries.com and see the amazing work they are doing in orphanages in China.
