happy birthday, chloe...

*pictures are of pics so really poor quality, but she's still really cute!!
today is my sweet "baby" sister's birthday. seriously can't believe she is 12!! i was 13 when she came into our family...that's crazy!

she is the sweetest preteen girl i know! she has such a tender heart...towards people and animals! she is a wonderful aunt "o" to the boys, and they love playing with her. she is so patient with them. she loves jesus and wants to do right in all she does. she loves to have fun and be silly.

it's because of this girl that our hearts are drawn to adoption...from an asian country specifically!! my word, asian babies are cute :) adoption has been one of the coolest firsthand experiences i've had, and i'm so thankful for god's timing and perfect plan.

i also think of her birth mother on special days. i'm so grateful for her courage and her love that she showed chloe. what a beautiful act of love and selflessness! adoption is a beautiful picture of jesus.

chloe, we love you so much and are so proud of you!! you're the best! (and you finally got a blog post in honor of you)
