Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment.

Hamilton's Birthday Party
Happy Birthday to Hamilton! In theme with what Hamilton enjoys..."Balls, Bubbles and Balloons" was the theme. We ate boiled peanuts and watermelon in the shape of balls, some of Hamilton's favorites! By the way, if you did not know, Hamilton loves balls. He loves to throw and catch balls. He gets so excited! James and I will have to become sports buffs with this one I think! The birthday cake was a tower of donut holes. So healthy and delicious too! Despite his face in this picture, he loved the donut holes!
What made the celebration so special was sharing it with family and friends. Bubbles! Our new great neighbor friends! Their son Aiden is 8 months old and the same size as Hamilton. I (Jenny) have really enjoyed getting to spend time with Michelle. The great big brother. He did great singing Happy Birthday and making sure all the guests had enough food.
Opening some gifts! Yeah! Hamilton squealed at the gift of balls!
Hey Jenny! Thanks so much for the pictures and the update. Balls, balls, and more balls. :-) So excited for you all. (the house looks fantastic, by the way, I hope I get to see it at the end of the month). Give my love to the guys! Love ya so much Jenny, you are an incredible mom!
We are so excited to begin a new chapter in our family's life as we pursue adoption from Ethiopia. Watch with us how incredible our God is as He intimately provides for every detail of this amazing journey!
THE ESTHER PROJECT
The Esther Project is our name for bringing our girl home from Ethiopia. In the bible, Esther was an orphan raised by her uncle. She was incredibly courageous, beautiful and a woman full of godly character. We believe that our "Esther" is out there (or at least thought of by our God), that she was created for our family and we cannot wait to bring her home!
