Looking back through 2011 I am remembering that January of last year was when God really began to lay it on our hearts that adoption might be His plan for our lives. So much has changed since then as it now seems crazy to think about taking Anellah out of this family!
I am so blessed by all the ways God used you during this past year as there were some super-fun times and a period of "survival." God taught me how to rely on Him and how to accept help from others. I am hoping that this next year doesn't include that kind of teaching, but I'm definitely excited for the different challenges we'll face.
We're pretty much ready to welcome Scorpion Tornado home, as ready as one can be to welcome home an infant for the first time at least! Now we'll just wait and see when he decides to arrive. In the meantime we've all be spending some quality time together celebrating Christmas and enjoying being together with hardly anything on the calendar. Here are some photos to show you what we've been up to:
