Our Family

Today, we decided to create a journal of our families Journeys. God has been so good to us. We call our blog 5-High-5 because in our family of 5, a High-5 is the greatest of all compliments and rewards! Our story starts when Mark and I got married in 2000. Then in 2002, we got the good news that we had a son, Jacob! We flew to Hawaii, where Jacob was born, and he was put in our arms on Thanksgiving day! We were thrilled and felt such love for this precious little boy. In 2003, we received a phone call that would change our lives forever - there was a little boy in Hawaii and he was ours if we wanted him! We said yes! Within a few days we met our precious Joshua - again, love filled our hearts to over flowing!!! In 2006 we learned of a little girl who had been born in Guatemala. We knew she was our daughter. In June 2007, we flew to Guatemala and were able to bring her home - such love and excitement was overwhelming! Each story of our journey to become a family of 5 has been a testimony of God's absolute love, mercy and grace. One day, I hope to share each of our children's stories with you. Thank you for joining us on our great adventure!
