Mother's Day Celebration


Mother's Day at church was a special day. Matthew preached, there was special music and Lori gave her testimony on how she became a mother. (you can listen to the sermon & testimony by going to www.wbcinc.org.au)

Madison & Morgan were video taped giving special messages to Sugar, Nanny and Grandma Rita.

Lori had her picture taken with her children that think she "ROCKS"

And our friends from Illinois (the Semlows) were in Ethiopia on Mother's Day bringing home 3 siblings to be their "forever" family. Praise the Lord! (to read more about their journey log onto: www.semlowadoption.blogspot.com).  Please keep them in your prayers for this adjustment time!
