Welcome to the GFU Alumni Association, Hannah. They will be asking you for your money for the rest of your life. Still, a nice gesture for them to give you the neat license frame.

Our hearts are full

We would like to introduce to you our beautiful grandson, Ayeresam Jacob Dorr. Today, in Ethiopia, he officially became part of Jake and Beka's family, and by extension a part of our family as well. But he has been deeply loved by all of us long before today. We were hooked the first time we gazed into those big beautiful eyes of his. We can't wait to meet this precious little cutie pie in January. Most of all, we thank God for His tender care and faithfulness throughout the process thus far. Love you, Baby Dorr.

Even colder!

Yesterday morning's low temp has been shattered by this morning's low. The temp gauge on our kitchen window sill tells the story. Only 8.4 degrees outside, and 59.2 inside. Things are supposed to warm up beginning today. Hope so!
