Gotcha Days!

Will and Lena have the same Gotcha Day which is May 6th so this year marked two years that they have been with us!  We celebrated by letting Lena pick out where to eat and Will where to go for dessert.  Lena was set on Newks and never wavered.  Will was a little torn between Gigi's Cupcakes and Kraze.  He ended up going with Kraze (Andy and I were holding out for cupcakes!).  Then we came home and followed our tradition of sending up one balloon for each year.  Lena sent up a pink balloon for her first year and then a purple one for her second year.  Will sent up a yellow balloon for his first year and a blue one for his second year.  Then we looked at all the pics of them in Moldova (which were a lot of Will because he sort of likes attention!), their very first Gotcha Day and coming home.

Hope celebrated her 7th Gotcha Day on Sunday, May 22nd!  Wow!  She continues to be such a special part of our family and God continues to amaze us in how He has gifted her in multiple ways!  Hope's favorite food is steak which usually leads us to Texas Roadhouse.  However, the restaurant was crowded due to so many high school graduation ceremonies, so we had to settle for Chile's.  Hope wasted no time in claiming the steak she wanted and dug in.  She has been cutting her own steak for quite sometime now and is a pro!  She chose to have dessert at Nancy's.  Hope released seven balloons this year and it was so fun counting down the years.  We are grateful for each one!
Lena, Hope, Beth and Will
