Thank you Behnkes!

Have you ever felt so humbled and blessed that you just want to cry? I'm talking about a good, happy cry, not the kind of sobbing that come while watching "Titanic" or "Armageddon". (Oh, Leo, you get me every time.) Anyway, thanks to the Behnke family, I felt that way last week. These sweet friends have an amazing story of how God put their family together through adoption. You can check it out on their blog here. Their adoption was finalized this summer, and they had an adoption ceremony/celebration to commemorate that event. Yay! We were so happy to celebrate with them!

Go Team Behnke!
Now here's what brought me to tears. They asked that in lieu of gifts or money for their kids, that friends and family donate instead to our adoption fund, to help bring our child home from Ethiopia. Whoa. Their selflessness and generosity was just overwhelming. I mean, who does that?? (-: We are so blessed to know this awesome family and can't thank them enough for their kindness and for their friends and family who chose to give. God is good.


Every party needs a bouncy house, am I right?
This girl loved every minute of it
So, from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU, Behnke family of 5! We pray that our great God continues to bless your family as you have blessed ours!
