Eesh, he's 2!

Who would have known a little boy could bring so much happiness and joy in our life. I truly understand Christ in a different way by Him entrusting this little boy's life in Jeff and my hands. We are so excited to say he has made it to his 2nd birthday. Who would have known that Christ had this little guy picked out for us before we had even arrived in Malawi! He was born Feb 6, 2010, only a few weeks before our best friends Robert and Kelli had Eli, and only 5 months before we landed in Malawi. Before we had even met anyone at Crisis Nursery, or had any contact with social workers or other people in Malawi about going about the fostering/adoption process, Christ picked Hollis out for us. Not only can we now celebrate the birthday, but we had our home study done today. The social worker came to our house, filled out some paperwork, and we were able to check another step in the 5 million step process of making Hollis ours.
Please excuse his belly peaking out from his shirt...



He looks like he's trying to tell us he has to go pee!


If you know us, you know this was a special treat for Hollis to get to have some icing...we're not doing sweets for him until he's 4-5 yrs old

He's not so sure about the candles...

Kelli Doley, this is proof I DID let him enjoy SOME of his cake.
