Goodbye 2014

June - Soccer Time! 

As I reflect back over 2014, I am amazed at just how far God has brought us.  He most definitely has held our hands through some pretty intense storms this year.  What would we do without His Grace?  We have had our share of  celebrations and disappointments but through it all, He has remained the source of our strength.  We are humbled that God blessed with so many things this year.  Not the material things that some might define as blessings, but things such as peace of mind and contentment.  Contentment in knowing that the road you walk (though steep and rough at times) is EXACTLY the path you are suppose to be on.    No greater joy I find then knowing who walks beside me on this journey of life.  Praying that 2015 will bring our friends and family much joy, happiness and contentment!

Busy, Busy, Busy

It has been forever since I posted anything on this blog.  Just a very busy time of our lives and a lot going on.  We found out in March that Aiden has Type I diabetes and our lives have been a bit of a whirlwind since.  Happy to report that we are "weathering the storm" quite well and Aiden has been amazingly adaptable.  Shaelyn recently celebrated her 16th Birthday!  We had a cookout at the park with our family, friends and our church family.  The following Monday we headed to the beach for a few days of R & R.  We are busy, busy, busy but are still blessed beyond measure!

Happy 15th Forever Day Shaelyn!

Happy Forever Day to our beautiful daughter!  15 years ago, God gave us the most beautiful baby girl and we were beyond thrilled!  Today she is a beautiful teenager that is loved by many!  We are thankful God chose Shaelyn to be ours!  Happy Forever Day Shay we love you sooooo much!!

Happy 7th Birthday Aiden Chase Fusheng

Happy Birthday Baby Boy!  

Jan 5th 2007.  The date that my little man made his brave appearance into this cold, hard world.  For only a few days he was in the arms of the woman who gave him life.  Then he began the journey God had destined for him from the moment of conception.  The journey to our family!  That journey took several long months but the outcome was so worth it!  What a treasure we were given, what a joy we continue to experience!
Yang Fusheng was the name the orphange workers gave this little guy.  We were told this name meant "Rising Up".  How fitting!  He rises to each challenge he is given with a big, contagious smile!!  Aiden - the name his Daddy chose for him, means "Little Fire" .  Both names are sooooo fitting for our little man.  He has been an imense joy and a bright spot of laughter in our home since the 1st day.  We love him so very much and wish him many more Happy Birthdays!!!
