One of my friends told me several months ago, "Adoption is messy." She wasn't kidding! As I was sitting in church today, I had a revelation of sorts. I had this thought several times: "It is not about me." I have battled anger and frustration this week. I have felt sorry for myself and been totally annoyed at how hard this is!! To be completely honest, I haven't felt motivated to pray! I have been asking everyone else to pray for me, and I can't even desire to pray myself? It really hit me today...this is SPIRITUAL WARFARE. The scriptures say this about spiritual warfare:

Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6

Satan does not want Malia to have a forever family. Jesus said, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10 I'm so glad that we know the TRUTH. Satan has been defeated and JESUS is LORD! It is to HIS promises that we cling!

I am learning more and more about the power of God and the power of prayer. I commit to praying more scripture OUT LOUD and to digging more deeply into his word and his desires for me. I know that we are in battle right now, and I am putting on the FULL armor of God that Ephesians 6 goes on to describe...will you do this together with me?

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

I was listening to an AMAZING message by the awesome late preacher E. V. Hill. He was talking about how to make the enemy run. That caught my attention quickly, because I want him RUNNING away from me. Good old Dr. Hill said that when Jesus was being tempted by Satan after 40 days in the desert, he responded to each of Satan's temptations by saying IT IS WRITTEN...He said when you are experiencing spiritual warfare to declare scripture out loud, starting with IT IS WRITTEN. So, tonight I will start right here, with you.

IT IS WRITTEN, "You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." 1 John 4:4

IT IS WRITTEN, "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." James 4:7

IT IS WRITTEN, "Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses." 1 Timothy 6:12

IT IS WRITTEN, For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes. He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, giving him food and clothing. And you are to love those who are aliens, for you yourselves were aliens in Egypt. Deuteronomy 10:17-19

IT IS WRITTEN, in Hebrews 13:5, "Never will I leave you. Never will I forsake you."

Thank you for following, caring, praying and fighting the good fight right alongside of us. We continue to press on.

Well...the rollercoaster has officially hit an all-time low today. We received word that there will be some delays with our case. We don't want to get into too many specifics, but we are heartbroken at the reality of Malia spending more time in an orphanage and more time without us. We miss her dearly. It is so frustrating, upsetting and aggravating because we cannot do one thing about it. Well we can do one thing, and that is to TRUST that God has this all under control. I know He does. I just wish I could stop being scared of the "what ifs". I wish I could be at the end of this whole process...walking off the plane with Malia in Fargo! What a great victory that will be.

One of Nick's friends (the wonderful Jason Bexell - who helped make our fundraiser t-shirts) gave him this scripture today: "You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people." (Genesis 50:20) Satan intends to harm us - but God will use this for GOOD!!!

I will try to focus on some positives here to help me change my point of view. First of all, our wonderful friend Sallee made this ADORABLE dress (aka Poppy Dip) for Malia. You can purchase one from her, and your money will help her bring her precious Samson home! Her website is: http://itspoppydipblog.blogspot.com.

Secondly, my friend Beret (who has 2 biological children and 3 children that were adopted from ET) and her sister Krysta (also my amazing "speechie" friend) are bringing over 2 full totes of formula tomorrow for the orphanage kids! WOWZAS!!! I love their hearts and their kindness.

Thirdly, Nick was able to speak at his Rotary Club this past week about our impending travels. He talked about the need for donations for the orphans. The gifts continue to roll in for the kids. We might just fill all our suitcases/totes to the brim!!

Fourthly (is that even a word?!?), God has blessed us with SO many wonderful friends and family members. Thank you, Mom, for just listening. Thank you, Kathy Freier, for shining some much needed hope into my heart today. Thank you, Erika Totman, Karl & Becky Kraywinkle, Heidi Rohr, Kim Baarstad, Amanda Boyeff, and Andrea Kraft, for your phone calls or texts. You are a huge source of STRENGTH and COMFORT to me. Thank you to everyone for your wonderful comments, thoughts and prayers you express in person or on the internet. They mean so much to us!!!

I feel like we have asked so much of you, that I don't want to ask for anything more. But... if you could continue to lift us up in prayer, we would be so grateful. I continue to give God thanks, honor, glory and praise for YOU. Thank you.

Well, the rollercoaster continues to move at the Tunheim house. Today we are feeling a little bit tired of this waiting game. Ok, maybe a LOT tired of it. To brighten all of our spirits, I thought I would share another video of Malia that we took while we were in Ethiopia. This is the first time Malia "saw" Kaleb. Kaleb also colored a picture for her, so I was showing her that, too.

As a side note, many of you have asked how her name is pronounced. It is: Muh - LEE - uh. Her nickname is Mia, pronounced: ME - uh. I hope that makes sense. I was talking with Kaleb the other day and called Malia Mia. He said, "Who's Mia?". I guess we needed to introduce Kaleb to her nickname, too!

I guess I haven't posted since last weekend. Nick pulled off a surprise party for me last Sunday. It was very sweet. So many of my dear friends from work and church came, along with Nick's family. My family was snowed in and couldn't make it. Thanks everyone that came!!

As we prepare to travel to Ethiopia a second time, we are putting out a last call for donations for the orphanage. We received an e-mail from Sue, our international agency director, telling us that the orphanages were in need of a few things. Here is what she listed:

Powder formula (any brand)
Diapers (all sizes) - cloth or disposable (preferably cloth)

If you would like to contribute, let us know, and we would love to meet you somewhere or pick it up somewhere if that works best for you! We are going to try and fill two totes full of things again.

I watched this video tonight via a referral from a Facebook friend. It is amazing, and gives a lot of insight into why we chose Ethiopia. We are so incredibly excited to go back.

I received a message from our next door neighbors the other day. They shared a word with us that was placed on their heart for us. It was from the book of Isaiah 20:11-12. The scripture talks about the watchmen asking what is left of the night. Boy, we sure have been doing a lot of talking with God about that lately! We have been begging for him to bring about the morning, to shine His light on us, that we would not feel despair and loneliness but hope instead - that Malia would come home. The scripture they shared goes on to say that morning is coming. Wow! Their words were profound to me. What is even more amazing, is God has placed that hope in my heart. I feel so hopeful that Malia will be home soon. I don't feel anguish anymore about being away from her, but I feel hopeful! Amen!!! One of my favorite songs right now has also been speaking to my spirit!! I must have played it 15 times yesterday getting ready for the day. Kaleb told me that he heard my favorite song at nap time and asked for me to play it again on the way to church today. He told me it is his favorite, too!! Here it is:

The Afters - Light Up the Sky

When I'm feeling all alone
With so far to go
The signs are nowhere on this road
Guiding me home
When the night is closing in
Is falling on my skin
Oh God will You come close?

(Chorus)
Light, light, light up the sky
You light up the sky to show me You are with me
I, I, I can't deny
No I can't deny that You are right here with me
You've opened my eyes
So I can see You all around me
Light, light, light up the sky
You light up the sky to show me
That You are with me

When stars are hiding in the clouds
I don't feel them shining
When I can't see You beyond my doubt
The silver lining
When I've almost reached the end
Like a flood You're rushing in
Your love is rushing in

(Chorus)

So I run straight into Your arms
You're the bright and morning sun
To show Your love there's nothing You won't do

Thank you for praying for us. And thank you Heavenly Father that you have shown us that you are right here with us! We knew it all along, but thank you that we can FEEL you.

Yesterday was Kaleb's 4th Birthday. It is so hard for me to believe that he is 4 years old. I never, ever imagined he would bring me this much joy. Children truly are a reward from the Lord (Psalm 127:3). We celebrated his birthday at Chuck E Cheese's with Grandma Barb, Uncle Luke, Jessie, Adam, Wendy and Wylie Nordin.

Today I turn the big 3-0...I'm thinking it is going to be a low key day. Hopefully no one pukes this year...Blessings to you today!!

I found myself thinking a lot about Malia today which makes me miss her more and ultimately makes my heart heavy. Tomorrow our adoption case will be presented to the United States Embassy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. We are asking for prayers that God continues to watch over the paper trail to ensure that the Embassy passes our case with flying colors and doesn't request any other documentation or delays our case for any reason. As soon as our case is approved by the United States Embassy, we will be given the green light to travel and bring our baby home.

We also ask for prayers that God continues to watch over our sweet Malia and protects her from all harm and whispers those sweet words of love in her ears. We are forever grateful for our friend Ashli. Ashli sent me a message today saying that she was going to El Olam tomorrow to see Malia. Praise God for the warriors he has placed on the ground to watch over and protect our sweet baby!! We are also thankful for Kyle and Kathy Freier who are in Addis Ababa to do some mission work. They too, are going to El Olam to love on Malia.

Most importantly we ask that you thank God for all the amazing work he is doing in our lives. By all means, Ann and I know that without our faith and the power of the Holy Sovereign One, we would have never made it this far.

Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow!

We received an amazing phone call this evening. We learned that my Mom will be accompanying us on our trip to bring Malia Grace home. We are thrilled to have her see firsthand where this journey has taken us. You see, without my parents, Jeff and Rosie Gustafson, this adoption would not have been possible. Thank you, Mom and Dad that you have supported us and blessed us in ways that you may never understand. I am so ecstatic that Mom is going to be a part of this amazing trip. Malia, you are so loved!!!

Mom and Dad, in you the orphan finds mercy. Hosea 14:3

You've heard me talk about Samson. His mommy and daddy are Sallee and Montie Couch. We were so honored to travel with this amazing family for our court trip and hope to travel with them for our Embassy trip.

I've had these photos of Samson for several weeks and have been waiting to put it on our blog in-order to find the right words about the importance of adoption, but just can't find the right words and feel these photos will speak for themselves.

Little Samson is from the western area of Ethiopia near Sudan. His father was no longer able to properly care for him. The "before" photo was taken when he was brought into the orphanage.

Sue, our agency director had this to say about Samson to Montie and Sallee, "I am not sure we have seen such a transformation...his skin, his eyes...he now has a glow...when I first got his pictures, I was sure we would NEVER find him a family............and now...well...he is one blessed little boy and you are blessed too, for stepping out into the unknown to save a little Gumuz boy."

The three days that we were in Ethiopia were an emotional rollercoaster that no one could imagine unless you were there with us. God blessed us in so many ways. We spent these unforgettable, life-changing days with some of the most amazing Christian people I have ever met. I couldn't think of any other people I would have wanted to spend this vulnerable time with. We're praying that God grants us the opportunity to travel with these incredible people for our Embassy trip. Here goes this list...

BRIAN & WENDI GREEN - Franklin, TN

This family is adopting three beautiful children who are siblings, Bennet (age 11), Kaleb and Kali (twins, age 7). Their two biological children came with, Cooper and Gatlin. Cooper and Gatlin are some of the most mature and well-mannered children I know. They are so in love with their new siblings. Brian and Wendi are responsible for hooking me up with the autographed CD of Stephen Curtis Chapman for Ann. Brian is the keyboardist and music director for SCC.

Check out their blog: howthegreenhousegrows.blogspot.com

MONTIE & SALLEE COUCH - Hampshire, TN

This will be the third adoption for Montie and Sallee. They are adopting Samson (age 3-4). Samson has the most beautiful black skin and gentle disposition. When he smiles his teeth glow! This little boy loves his daddy and if his skin were the same color as ours, you would think he is Montie's biological son. Sallee is a mad sewer and makes adorable Poppy Dips for sweet little girls.

SCOTT & ANGELA VANNESTE - Frankfort, KY

I have the utmost respect for Scott and Angela. They have four biological children, two foster children and are adopting twins, Hannah and Isaiah (age 1). Hannah and Isaiah are so adorable and so happy. Scott and Angela knew prior to accepting the referral of these babies that Hannah may have downs syndrome, yet they followed what God laid on their hearts. There is no genetic testing in Ethiopia to determine if she does or not. If she does, we all feel it's a very mild case and that there would be no better family for her to be with than the VanNeste's.

RICK & AMANDA FLORES - Franklin, TN

We all felt safe walking at night with Rick in Addis Ababa. He made all of us men at the guesthouse look like we had chicken wings for arms. Rick likes to spend time at the gym. They are adopting siblings, Abinet (age 7) and Hannah (age 1). Hearing Abinet and Hannah's story would break your heart.

YONATAN AWEL - Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Yonatan manages the Addis Flower Guesthouse. He is an amazing Christian with a beautiful heart, smile and sense of humor. There was nothing we asked that he didn't make happen. In the short three days that we were in Addis, I feel that Yonatan and I created a great friendship. Someday we hope to bring him to the United States for a visit. He has a vision and dream of owning his own Ethiopian Tour Company. While telling us about his dream over a scrumptious cup of Ethiopian coffee, he mentioned that he would like to create a website but it was going to cost him $500, which is a LOT of money in Ethiopia. God placed Yonatan and I together at the right time. I offered to create him a website at no cost for all he did for us. The joy on his face was worth more than any payment.

ALAZAR HARGOS - Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Alazar was our driver, tour guide, translator, haggler and so much more. He has such a kind spirit and the patience of a saint, although his watch runs on Ethiopian time (an hour and a half to an hour late). You would not believe the driving in Addis. No stop signs, no stop lights, no cross walks, no anything that has to do with orderly traffic. Bumpy roads, muddy roads, no roads, if you can fit a car on it, then it's considered drivable. There are 5.8 million people in a 40 square kilometer in Addis Ababa. SO many people on the streets it's crazy. There are roaming goats and cows, horse and buggies and a million taxi's. To Ethiopians their "system" makes sense, to us, it's utter chaos. There are no such thing as lanes and who cares if you drive the opposite way of the traffic... With that said, not once did I feel nervous with Alazar behind the wheel. One day, Alazar took a few of us to one of many shopping districts. These are little shops with you have to haggle for everything. Alazar is known by everyone and very well respected. If we were interested in anything we would ask a price from the shop keeper. They would say 500 Bir (which is about $30). We then would say, "Alazar, 500 bir?" He immediately began speaking in Amharic to the shop keeper and before we knew it we bought that item for less than half of the original price. As I am sure you can imagine, Ann was terrible at haggling. At one point a shop keeper wasn't willing to go low enough for Alazar's liking. Ann said, "But I want it, it's so cute." Alazar give her they eye and said, "NO! We'll find it elsewhere." She listened... Out of the hundreds of photos I took, I never got one of Alazar, I'll be sure to get one our next trip.

ASHLI YORK - Currently, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Ashli is Amanda Flores' sister. She has been in Ethiopia for a month and will be spending eight more months there doing mission work through Heart of the Orphan. She spent time with us at the guesthouse while we were there. In the short month that she has been in Addis Ababa, she has already learned so much about the culture, city and language. Her mission is to help orphanages in Addis Ababa become more systematic, clean and reliable. One of the orphanages she is going to be working with is the orphanage Malia is at. We just love Ashli's heart for God...her mission is powerful. Through her generous and loving heart she graciously is going to make frequent trips to the orphanage to check up on Malia. You have no idea how much this means to us. God bless you Ashli. You are truly a God send!!! How will we ever repay you??

NANNIES - Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

There were three nannies that were always working behind the scenes at the guest house. Marta, the nanny on the left of the photo above was a nanny at the El Olam orphanange where Malia is at. She recognized Malia instantly and loved on her several times. These sweet ladies cared for all the children while we were away for the court hearing. We never once worried about how Malia was doing as we knew she was in good hands. The beautiful girl, second from the left is not a nanny at the guest house. She was around a few times covering for Yonatan when he was away. She is Alazar's fiancèe.

I've been putting off posting about our last days in Ethiopia. We already shared about our day in court. All that is left to tell you about is the day we left. So, you can see why I have been procrastinating. Here goes...

We spent the morning shopping...nothing is priced, and I don't understand the money conversion even when I try. We took our driver, Alazar, with us. The locals would tell us a price on something, and then we would check it with Alazar. He would then bargain with the shop owners and get us a better price. I am not good at that. At all. If they told me they wanted 450 Birr for an item, I wanted to pay them that. I had Nick and Wendi Green trying to pull items out of my hands so I wouldn't pay full price. It was a fun experience!

While we were shopping, we continuously had children approach us and want to "shine" our shoes. First of all, their water was way dirtier than my shoes have ever been, and second of all, I was wearing tennis shoes...I felt so bad telling them no!

We went back to the guest house and spent the rest of the day with our kids. It was so gut wrenching knowing that we had to take Malia back. After I sang her the Mark Schultz song (Until I See You Again), I couldn't keep it together. We all piled into a 15 passenger van and dropped our kids off, one at a time, at their orphanages. Malia was happy and smiling and cooing when we laid her in her crib. We were a MESS. We sobbed, wailed and found it painful to even breathe. Each time we dropped off more children, the pain came back. Wendi Green started singing "Beautiful One" and we tried to join in when our voices would work. We continue to pray, "Lord, please speed the time between now and when she is home. Watch over her, protect her, hold her in Your arms of Love."

Ugh. It is so painful to even write about this. I remind myself how blessed we are. God kept us safe and healthy throughout our travels. Malia is thriving and being cared for. Kaleb is healthy. It is still hard!

The support that we have received has been astronomical. With our court fees taken care of, we are still trying to gather money for our final trip. God has blessed us with more donations this week that have been so generous and overwhelming. We serve a Mighty God.

Do you think that 673 is an amazing number?? I sure do! That is how many unique individual people have accessed our blog in the last month for a total of 2,080 times. WOW. Thank you for reading, praying and joining us on this faith walk. We have been so blessed by all of you. We only hope we can pay your kindness forward in the future.

Praying. Standing firm. Hoping.

We received a copy of Malia's Ethiopian birth certificate today with Nicholas Tunheim as the father and Ann Tunheim as the mother. That's sweet music to our ears! Praise God, things are moving!

We are now waiting for her passport to be created and then for the case to be submitted to the US Embassy. Please pray that the US Embassy finds nothing wrong and doesn't request any additional paperwork so that we can be granted an Embassy date for us to travel to bring Malia home. We are waiting...waiting on you oh Lord.

I also received a heart-warming message from our friend Ashli York. We met Ashli, her sister Amanda and Amanda's husband, Rick while in Ethiopia. We all stayed at the Addis Flower Guest House together. Amanda and Rick are adoption two precious children. Ashli is spending nine months in Ethiopia doing mission work.

Ashli's heart for the orphan is amazing. She's a total inspiration to Ann and me and anyone that's around her. In her message she stated that she paid a visit to the orphanage that Malia is at. Ashli fed her, bathed her and loved on her for us. We are forever grateful for Ashli's friendship and willingness to love on our baby. She will never know how much her presence means to us! Love you Ash!!

So you all read the blog about the "Flight Attendant who made a difference...". I sent Inge an e-mail thanking her for all she did for us and to personally let her know that she touched our lives by her generosity and friendship.

I've been eagerly awaiting her response just to know that she received our "thanks." Well, this evening I received a sweet e-mail back from her. Her words were so kind...it made my evening!!

During our return flight form Addis Ababa to Amsterdam, she said that she would love to be on our return flight when we bring Malia home, however, she would need at least a six week notice in-order to request to be on a specific flight. We were bummed to hear that, as we are prayerful that we may return home with Malia before six weeks, and if not, still probably wouldn't be able to give her a six week notice. In her e-mail this evening, she said that despite the six week notice, she is still going to ask her managers to help her be a part of our return flight. How special is that, we are so humbled!

Inge showed us photos of her precious children as well as a photo of her hobby. She raises Tonkanees cats. In her e-mail she talked about our much she loved our blog and noticed that it was something that I created. She then went on to say that she didn't like her website, www.aircats.nl, which I don't think is that bad. Using her professions terminology, perhaps economy class and not business class describes her website. What she doesn't know, but will after reading this blog post, is that I am going to offer her to create a new website for her at no charge in exchange for her friendship. This is the least I can do for our new friend. She will never know how much she touched our lives and how much we needed her friendship at that time of what seemed like despair to us, as we had just left Malia and were on our way traveling 8000 miles away from our beautiful daughter.

I know I have said this before, and I'll say it again. Our adoption journey has blessed us in so many ways and with so many new friends, Inge being one of them. Did I mention that her husband was one of the pilots who flew the aircraft we were on?

How about a new website, Inge, business class style?

To view all the photographs that we took during our recent trip to Ethiopia click on the image below to enter our online photo gallery. Our time was spent with some amazing families and beautiful children. Our lives have been blessed by the friendships we have made.

For some reason, I woke up every 2 hours in Ethiopia. Maybe it was the spider that I found on the ceiling that Nick killed before bed, or could it be thinking about going to see our baby the next day?? We woke up at about 6:30 to get ready for our driver to arrive at 7:30 to bring us to Malia's orphanage. The nannies made us scrambled eggs for breakfast, and they were scrumptious! We waited and waited for our driver...I think he arrived around 8:45. Ethiopian time is apparently very different than American time. I was jumping up and down when the van pulled up! Nick didn't want to talk on the video as all he would do is cry.

We took in our first sights of the city on our way to Malia's orphanage. We were so lucky that we went to hers first. There was another couple (the Van Nestes) adopting twins (about 1 year old) from the same orphanage. I know we shared some about the orphanage kids on previous blogs, so I won't repeat myself, but they were so amazing and loving! I will add that the sibling set of 4 that weighed so heavily on our hearts now has a family! Someone from the US is adopting all 4 of them. Praise the Lord!

I don't think I will ever forget what it felt like to see Malia for the first time. I recognized her immediately, and she was already my daughter before I swept her in my arms. This whole miracle journey of adoption is so amazing, and I can't even believe that God would choose us to walk this path and to be Malia's parents. I am so thankful.

Once we had Malia and the twins, we traveled to the Transition House. The third family in the van with us (the Couches) was adopting Samson (approximately 3 years old). The Transition House is owned and operated by our adoption agency. The trip from the orphanage to the Transition House offered us a lot more sights, sounds and smells. The ride was a very bumpy one. In fact, one of the twins threw up all over the car. The kids were so excited to see us once we arrived. One girl in particular would not leave my side and loved to run her fingers through my hair. They also loved Nick's camera and wanted to take pictures with it. We experienced extreme joy watching the children meet their forever families for the first time.

We went back to the Guest House and spent time getting to know our kids and taking naps. This is my favorite video of playing with Malia.

The Green family arrived on this day. We had already formed a bond with them via the internet before meeting in person, and we were so blessed by their presence in Africa. They have 2 biological children, Cooper and Gatlin, (ages 16 and 13) and are adopting a sibling set of three (11/12 year old girl, 7 year old boy/girl twins). Let me just tell you about these amazing people...first of all, there luggage never did arrive. They went to the airport daily to see if it came, with no luck. It was interesting, to say the least, but they handled themselves with grace. Some of their outfit combinations were pretty interesting. If you'd like to read more about their journey, you can check it out at: www.howthegreenhousegrows.blogspot.com.

Later in the evening, we traveled with the Greens to their children's orphanage to pick up their kids. Again, seeing the joy on the face of these kids when their new mommy and daddy arrive is priceless. The Greens brought their two bio kids with them, and it was so fun seeing all the kids interact.

When we got back to the Guest House, all the men went out to find us some food, and we women got to chat and get to know each other better. We received some information on how court would go, and went to bed thankful we had our baby girl, missing Kaleb and wondering how our first night with Malia would go.

A tribute to the families who stayed with us at the Addis Flower Guest House. Sallee, Montie and Samson Couch, Rick, Amanda, Abenet and Hanna Flores, Brian, Wendi, Cooper, Gatlin, Bennet, Kaleb and Kali Green, Scott, Angela, Isaiah and Hannah Van Neste and Ashli York. We love each and every one of you and your precious children!! Our lives have been enriched by knowing you.
