Marquel's Science Fair Project turned out nice. She made lollipops and learned about different types of sugar and the chemical composition and interactions that make candy turn hard. It was due December 15th, which is really bad timing for those of us who have to do these things on weekends, but we managed to get it done. It seems she came in at 4th place out of her class, so we are really happy for her.
Last Sunday the kids had their Christmas program at church. Randy and I had tears in our eyes as we watched Chip sing "loud and proud" with his group of little Angels. Annie and Charlie sang in the kids choir. This was Annie's chance to sing in church, something she has been begging us to do! They looked so cute in their new church clothes.
Sharon did an awesome job taking pictures of the play. You can view them here and more pictures with Santa here. Even Marquel took her turn on Santa's lap, although she tugged at our hearts when she told Santa she would like her Mom for Christmas. One day she will understand, and in the meantime she prays every night for God to watch over her mom.When we see the kids enjoying these things it always makes us think of the condition they were in when we picked them up in New Orleans. To see them happy and thriving reminds us how thankful we are for your support.
In case we don't have a chance to say it in person,
Merry Christmas and Thank You for all your love and support this year!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Randy and Stephanie, Turk and the kids
Looking at that picture of the kids, the CLARITY in their faces....is simply awesome. No doubt you and Randy have given them a treasure that is part of their lives forever :)

Aren't they precious! They are all so bright eyed and happy. It brings tears to our eyes sometimes when we think where they might have ended up.
