TinkerBELLA


We had a blast last night with the boys and Isabella on Halloween. Luke dressed as Spartacus the Roman soldier, Josh was an ice wolf ninja (whatever that is- Hee! Hee!) and Isabella was, of course, TinkerBELLA! I've got a feeling that she is going to be a girlie-girl because she loved getting fancy- no complaining at all!

As we were walking around with the kids last night, I was very aware of the fact that we are so blessed beyond words that Isabella is home with us. Last year on Halloween I put on a happy face, but truly my heart was in Guatemala. We weren't sure if our precious daughter would ever make it home to us at that point. I am just so thankful that God moved mountains for Isabella and so many other adoptive families. I am humbled and grateful for His love for us.

So, without further ado, here are some highlight pictures from last night:




Patiently waiting for her brothers





Crazy-happy to be running around outside






Pure JOY

Luke and Josh (both on right) getting ready to trick or treat with their buddies. They counted their loot at the end of the night, and each boy got around 300 pieces of candy. Can you say "cavities"?

Tinker Bella, next to my Bella's costume yours is my next favorite! It must be the name "Bella", its a name that fits a "girlie girl". Like you Stacy, our hearts were also in Guat. It's been quit a journey, but we are so much better for it. I believe you stand with me when I say "we know God in a real and personal way". He's not just the "pie in the sky", but our friend, Father, redeemer and healer. Blessed beyond measure is what I always say. If we had nothing but Him, we have EVERYTHING! Love you lots girl, your fam is precious. Susie

We are all so blessed to have them home! God is soooo good! Your kids are beyond beautiful. I'm cracked up at how giddy Bella looks. She's the most wonderful TinkerBELLA I've ever seen.

Love,
Amanda and Gabi
