When I turned 40 Kim and the kids (only Levi, Lilly, and Sadie at that point) made me a little scrapbook. It had notes from each of them and a plan for the coming year. On the 27th (my day of birth) of each month they planned to take me out, either individually or as a fam, for something fun.
Kim’s so creative like that.
Annabelle was looking through the book with me when I stumbled onto the last page, which was the coolest thing. There’s a picture of me, Lilly, and Sadie working at a Steven Curtis Chapman concert, raising funds for Chapman’s adoption organization, Show Hope.
Beside the picture, Kim wrote the words, “Hi Annabelle! We love you!”
It would be another year (22 months actually) before we would actually travel to China to go get Annabelle. What a wonderful adventure this has turned out to be!
