As 2008 is behind us, we reflect on the blessings of our year. Travis and I have been so fortunate to spend each and every day with our precious children. They truly are the reason God placed us on this earth. Each day, they bring great joy to our lives. They amaze us each day with something new, whether it be a growth of intelligence, something funny, or just their precious smiles. Everytime we look at them we are reminded of the love our Heavenly Father has for us. The pure gift of being their parents is enough happiness to last many lifetimes.
This past year, we have been able to travel many places and enjoy a great deal of time together. Our children are so amazing and are filled with so much love in their hearts. Trayjan and Jie will hug and kiss us many times throughout the day and each time our hearts swell with so much love. Trayjan and Jie will also love on eachother all day long, so we know God is guiding us in teaching our children to love. They are both amazing at expressing thier feelings for eachother and Travis and I.
Our children are a reflection of our love shown towards them. I remember when Trayj was a baby (up to age 3), Travis would sit and count how many times I would kiss him. Honestly I didn't have any idea I was doing it, but Travis would count into the hundreds each day. Each night as we lie Jie down to sleep, she'll express her love for us. She will continue to kiss us and tell us she loves us over and over again. She will even kiss our heads, ears, noses, hands, and arms....as she tells us. Usually, we both have to pretend to be asleep for her to finally lie down and then every few minutes she turn over or will lean in to tell one of us she loves us again. She is such a loving child, and is completely in love with her family. What a precious gift she is to all of us.
Our 2008 was so amazing and we know our Lord Jesus Christ made it all possible. He continously provided for us over and over again. He brought us even closer together and he blessed us with Health and Happiness. How blessed we are to be loved so deeply by him!
We just wanted to post some wonderful pictures to reflect our amazing year! Happy New year to everyone, and God bless you each and everyday!
