Dear little Danil,
Today I thought about family. Family has always been very important to me. I have been very blessed all my life to have been surrounded by a big family. I can't wait to introduce them to you.
You will have a Great-Great Grandmother who will be 100 years old in June. She is an amazing woman who still cares for herself and is full of love and laughter. I know she will love you as soon as she sees you because that is how she is.
You will also have 4 Great Grandmothers and 3 Grandmothers . . .now that is alot of kisses and cookies! They are all wonderful in their own way and you will love each one of them for different reasons.
Next you will have endless amounts of Aunts and Uncles . . I say this because I can't even begin to count each one, unless I sit down with a family tree. Let's just say you will be truly blessed beyond measure. Not to mention all the cousins that go with all the Aunts and Uncles.
And last but not least, you will have an amazing church family. And what an amazingly supportive family they will be. They are there to lift you up in times of trials and help you praise God in truly blessed times. Here is a picture of a few of them
Every year a few families from our church travel to Wisconsin for "Family Camp." We worship, eat, laugh, play and camp together for a whole week. It's an amazing God filled week . . and we pray Danil that you will be able to join us this year! What a gift that would be!
We can not wait to welcome you into our family. A family that is centered around love.
Until then we will continue to work hard, pray and trust in the Lord.
We love you Danil,
With God's help,
your Mommy
Wow, what a huge blessing. From orphan to HUGE family. Praise God. Can't wait to see his smiling face in a picture like this.
